Before leaving the Public Works Department of HONG

KONG in April last for nine months leave in this Country,

I was permitted to file an application for Promotion in the

Colonial Service.

Aaswaing that this application may now be in LONDON;

may I be excused for reminding you that the present time

might be favourable for a transfer on promotion, provided

such should meet with your approval.

I trust that this communication may not be considered

a breach of regulations.

I have the honour to be,

sir,

Your obedient servant,

Maon
