Sin,

I shall be pleased if you will let me know as far as pos-

sible what chance I have of obtaining a post as Bacteriologist

to a Colony or the post of director of the Quala Lumpur Insti-

tute and when.

I went to Hong Kong three and a half years ago accepting

a salary considerably below the commencing salary of the junior

Medical Officers in the Government in the belief that this

preliminary service would make me eligible for the posta I mention above. The Hong Kong Government were satisfied with my

services and offered me a rise of salary to stay on at the end

of my three years agreement. The rise was insufficient and I

refused it. It would have left me at a permanent disadvantage

compared with all other Medical Officers in the Hong Kong

Government.

About fifteen months before completing my three years

agreement at Hong Kong, I put my name down for employment as a Bacteriologist to a Colony and for the Directorship of the

Quala Lumpur Institute. I have had no offer of employment,

have been practically out of work since April 4th. and my

career as a research worker has been brought to a standstill.

I think you will be able to see from my six monthly report of

February

research work dated/1908 that it showed considerable promise.

You will perhaps think that I ought to have accepted the

rise of salary offered to me by the Hong Kong Government but I

will explain the inner working of how the post I held came to

be created and its salary fixed
