Canton Kowloon Railway, with a view to prospecting the country around, I was doing so lying between the two places not aware that I would in any way infringe the rules of the ~ service with regard to vacation leave, and very much regret that my action may be construed as such.

I desire to point out that having had some experience in railway work, I accompanied the prospecting party primarily for information, and for my services during the journey I was furnished with an honorarium. If I am correctly understanding that His Excellency can only do so after communication with the Secretary of State for the Colonies, I trust that he will be pleased to make such representation as he deems necessary to obtain the required sanction.

I have related my experience to Sof. I. F. Boulton, my friends with such information as I was capable of giving. They now desire to present me with an honorarium for the assistance I have rendered to them in this matter, and I respectfully request that His Excellency will be pleased to sanction it.
