Sir,

I have, the honour to offer myself as a candidate for the

post of Land Officer and Official Receiver in Bankruptcy in Hong

Kong which I understand will shortly become vacant by the retirement

on pension of Mr. Bruce Shepherd.

Since baking up the duties of my present substantive post

of Assistant Land Officer in Hong Kong in October 1900 I have on

two occasions, for a period altogether of two years during the absence

of Mr. Bruce Shepherd been appointed in charge of the Land Office

and the duties of Official Receiver and am now acting in that

capacity.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient servant,

C.H. Wakaman

The Right Honourable

The Secretary of State for the Colonies.
