will be calculated on a Colonial basis with a contribution

from Imperial funds. The amount payable by the Colony

would, presumably, be the same in either case.

It will probably be necessary in the near future to

consider the granting of a pension to the Chief Clerk at

the Shanghai Post Office who was on the staff of that Agency when it was transferred, and the Postmaster General would be much obliged if the matter could receive early

attention.

Sir,

Your obedient Servant,
