18th June, 1914.

I beg to acknowledge receipt of your letter

of the 4th inst. for which I am obliged. This letter states that the Governor of Hong Kong has reported

that I have been awarded a pension at the rate of

£200 a year. I respectfully submit that such a pension

is totally inadequate under the circumstances.

2.

I presume that the pension which has been

awarded me is based upon the scale provided by the

pension rules dated the 1st of January 1902. I would

however point out that I was appointed for public

service in Hong Kong in the year 1900, and consequently the rules then in force apply to my case.

3.

I presume that these miles are copprised in

the Minute of 1895 (Government Notification No.452 of

1895). By these Rules it is provided that a pension

at the rate of fifteen sixtieths of salary, with an

addition of one sixtieth in respect of each complete

year of service in excess of ten, shall be awarded.

My salary with allowance was £630 per annum therefore

my pension would work out on this basis at £199. 10. 0.
