Provision of healthy quarters suitable for a European is a necessity. Thinking that the recent extension of bungalows may afford the opportunity, I earnestly beg to urge my request in this respect.
I have been in the Colonial Service for 13 years, having joined the Police Force. After completion of 7 years' service, I was transferred to the Civil Service in May 1885. I may mention that there are several members of the Hong Kong Civil Service who are privileged with quarters, notably the Chief Clerks at the Magistracy and Post Office; also, I have heard that the same allowance is granted to the Storekeeper in the Government Prison Service.
My salary is ... per month. I have not been provided with government quarters.
15 June: Reference to previous Paper No. 124541, dated 4 July. Requests that it be considered.

C. O. No. 14276, received on 27 Jun 98, 457.
It is clear from the O.A.G's Despatch No. 12165, dated 26th February, that Mr. Wodehouse was not really discharging his duties in question. The fact that he was on leave of absence during the period is sufficient reason.
I have the honour to be, Sir, Your most obedient humble Servant, Watson, Hong Kong Harbour Department.
