The Rt. Hon.
Downing Street,
28th May, 1916.
209
Dear Sir,
I have shown to Mr. Bonar Law the enclosed
letter from Colonel Colvin. He would have been
very glad to do as Captain Dallin asks if it had
been possible, but he regrets to say that Captain
Dallin's case has been specially represented to
the Governor of HongKong and that the Governor has
replied that it is quite impossible to allow
Captain Dallin to be absent from the Colony after
July 15th. I am sure you will understand that
Mr. Bonar Law is bound to accept the Governor's
opinion as to the necessity of an officer's
services and that he is therefore unable to do
anything more in the matter.
Yours truly,
LIEUTENANT-COLONEL LOCKWOOD, C.V.O.,M.P.
(Sd) F.G.A.Butler.
