With reference to your despatch regarding the plague in Hong Kong, I am to request that you will inform the War Office that the question of sending an expert to Hong Kong to advise measures against the reappearance of the plague is being considered.

The Colonial Secretary's Office is to ask whether, if it seems probable that an expert will be required, and Professor Simpson is recommended as the best man for the work, the War Office could spare him in the event of his not being otherwise required in connection with the plague in South Africa.

I think we might do this while waiting to hear from the War Office.

Regarding the subject of plague, on the 5th July, we were informed that Forsiner commands an expert in sanitation.
