GOVERNMENT HOUSE.

HONGKONG. 3rd. April, 1914.

Sir,

I have the honour to transmit a copy of a

letter which I addressed to the High Commissioner of the Malay States on the subject of the transfer of Mr. A. Dyer Ball to the Hongkong Service, and a copy of Sir Arthur Young's reply.

2.

It is not possible to spare a Hongkong Cadet

of the same year as Mr. Ball in exchange for him, as the Service is somewhat shorthanded as it is, but I am prepared to accept the conditions suggested by Sir Arthur Young.

3.

Mr. Ball has passed his examinations with great credit, and I would ask for your approval of his transfer on such a date as may be convenient to the Government of the Federated Malay States,

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient,

humble servant,

HE RIGHT HONOURABLE
