Government House, HongKong, 29th March, 1899.

The proposed increases of salary will not involve any additional expenditure, and will tend to promote the efficiency of the Postal Staff.

Hong Kong, 8/5

I have the honour to be, Sir, Your Most Obedient Humble Servant, Henry May

To The Right Honourable JOSEPH CHAMBERLAIN, M.P.
