Sir,

With reference to my despatch from Fiji dated 11th

March last, requesting that Lieutenant L.R.B.W. Taylor, Royal

Artillery, be permitted to accompany me to Hongkong as my

Aide-de-Camp, I have now the honour to inform you that I have

learned that Lieutenant the Hon: FitzR. Somerset, Grenadier

Guards, is sailing on the 17th instant, presumably with your

sanction, to take up the position of A.D.C. to me.

I have accordingly to request that Lieut: Taylor

be permitted to act as my Private Secretary and (extra)

A.D.C.

The Secretary,

War Office.

I have the honour to be,

Sir >

Your most obedient humble servant,

(Sgd:) F. H. May,

Governor, &c.
