Mr Bidgood to Crown Agents.

22 Station Terrace, Helston, Cornwall. 16/2/94.

Gentlemen,

I beg to acknowledge the receipt of your letter dated 5th Instant and also yours of the 14th, containing the Agreement (in triplicate) and with reference to which I respectfully beg to inform you that prior to my leaving the Colony of Hong Kong I had arranged with the Government to re-engage for a further period of three years with the understanding that my pay and emoluments should be the same as those I was then receiving and I fully expected that the nature and extent of the allowance and privilege I then received would have been embodied in this Agreement; therefore I trust you will be good enough to inform the Hong Kong Government of its omission, and that in again resuming my duties in connection with the Praya Reclamation Works I receive the same allowance and privilege as formerly.

I shall be prepared to leave England on or about the time stated in your communication of the 5th Instant (viz) the early part of April.

I also wish to inform you that I propose taking my wife & children, two aged 6 & 7 years respectively, with me, and any information or assistance you may kindly render me in regard to their passages will be most thankfully received.

I have, &c.,

(Signed) W. Bidgood.
