Inspector of Schools to Acting Colonial Secretary.

Sir,

Res 20 MAY 30

Education Department,

Hongkong, 12th. April, 1890.

I have the honour to submit an application

by the Headmistress of the Government Central School for girls resigning her post from 1st. September next and I beg

to recommend that the resignation be accepted and that measures be taken to obtain from England another Headmistress under substantially the same conditions as before.

2.

I enclose the formal application of Miss Mann dated 11th. April, 1890, resigning her post as Headmistress of the Government Central School for girls from 1st. Septem-

ber next.

3.

I also enclose a semi-official note of Miss Mann,

of 11th. April, 1890, expressing satisfaction with the treat-

ment she received on the part of the Government and stating

that she is willing to continue her auties until her

successor arrives.

4.

As neither of the two letters gives the reason

for this application, I add that the only reason for this

unexpectedly early resignation is that the lady has become

engaged to a gentleman who was a fellow-passenger on the

steamer which brought her out, and who informed me officialy

that

The Honourable W. M. Deane,

Acting Colonial Secretary,

&C.
