Sir R. Herbert Reutt. Mar 15.
1. For by telegram to C.O. 2065.
2. No, not at all. From 4646 & previous Corresp. I gather that his health necessitates his leaving Hong Kong. The only question is whether he goes on leave or forthwith goes on pension.

Considering it necessary to make arrangements for regular payment of pension granted by Hong Kong and Mauritius.
Is information correct that Bowen is returning on expiration of leave?
