Governor of Hong Kong is increasing while his income is diminishing. The Governor being present practically works harder than the Governors of the smaller West Indian Islands. It is even suggested that the expenses resulting from official letters of introduction are but a small item in the funeral expenditure.

3. Putting aside the question of salary, I would submit that the Colonial regulations regarding leave press unduly upon the Governor of this Colony. Hong Kong possesses a most trying climate. The alterations of temperature range at this season sometimes 15 to 20 degrees in the day.

I cannot say what the summer might be, but it appears to be accepted here as an axiom that if one is able to preserve one's capacity for work, he must go to a temperate climate at least every January. The climate is peculiarly trying.
