4th March 1895.

As I had not the opportunity of doing so

in person, I must in writing convey to you the

thanks of the Government of Hongkong for the valu.

able services which you have rendered to this Colony

in your position of late Acting Commandant of the

Volunteers,

-

you

From the time when two years ago

consented to assume that office on the reorganization

of the Corps, you have been untiring in your devo

tion to its interests, and by the exercise of much

patience and tact you have brought the Corpsto a

most satisfactory position both as regards numbers

and efficiency.

Owing to your great exertions I think there

is every chance of the Corps becoming a permanent in-

stitution,

With renewed thanks

Colonel Jerrard.
