Mr. Chamberlain

I am directed by the Secretary of State for the Colonies to inform you that, subject to your being passed by the medical adviser of this Department as physically fit for service, he proposes to select you for appointment as Examining Supervisor in the Hong Kong Post Office, with salary at the rate of £45 rising by annual increments of £15 to £245 a year.

2. The currency in which your salary will be paid is silver dollar currency, which will be converted into dollars at a rate to be fixed annually by the Colonial Government and based upon the average exchange value of the dollar during the preceding year.

3. You will be liable to a deduction of 4 percent of your salary in respect of contribution by you to the Government Pension Fund.

You are to understand that your employment will be under the Colonial Government; that your emoluments will be paid solely from the funds of the Colony, and that the appointment will be subject to the Colonial Regulations in force for the time being, which are published in the annual Colonial Office List, and can also be consulted in this office.

The Regulations (Nos. 81 to 96) specify the proceedings which are taken in a Colony when it is deemed necessary to suspend an officer with a view to his removal from the service; but you must also understand that you will hold the appointment subject to the pleasure of the Crown, and that the pleasure of the Crown that you should no longer hold it may be signified through the Secretary of State, in which case no special formalities are required.
