CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案 All AI Reviewed

I have applied to several Authorities, who have advertised appointments, but though my qualifications, experience, and testimonials are alike exceptionally good

I have been rejected presumably insisting on medical grounds, all authorities on a medical examination.

I have exhausted all means of a cure for my complaint thought to be the beginning of Phthisis, which is expensive and if beyond the curable stage, likely considering my circumstances in England, it is all the more necessary.

I have some means both to procure the essential comforts when the final stage comes, and also to be able to pay the calls of the Houghton's Orphan's and Widows fund and also maintain my premium for insurance.

I beg that you will advise on the transfer to some other Government Department as a post cannot be found for me under the Colonial Office.

I present this case on the grounds that my sickness was contracted whilst in the Government service of Hong Kong, and that I was passed fit by the Medical advisor to the Colonial Office and by two other medical men within a period of about 12 months previous, and also that my duties in Hong Kong had to be performed under exceptional circumstances.

I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient Servant J.H.Dandy.
