Hongkong, 18th. July, 1908.

With reference to Your Lordship's

Despatch No. 106 of the 1st. ultimo, I have the honour to

point out that whereas in the Particulars of Office which

It was particularly desired that

an unmarried candidate should be selected because the

salary of the post is low for a married man and there are

no married quarters available in the New Territories where

the officer may have to work.

I have the honour to be,

My Lord,

Your Lordship's most obedient,

humble servant,

Sug

Governor, &C..

RIGHT HONOURABLE

THE EARL OF CREWE,
