Chief Justice's Chambers,

Supreme Court, Hongkong,

16th July, 1918.

My dear Collins,

I wrote you in September last on the subject of

the scheme of rent allowances for officials here.

I think it is most likely that it shared the lot

of many other letters and went into the depths of the sea.

I venture therefore to send you a copy of it to-

gether with copies of other enclosures.

I am now the possessor of a house so have no per-

sonal interest in the matter and I understand that since I

wrote it a scheme of allowances in the case of absent wives

has been sanctioned. I an sure however you will allow me

in the interest of my co-officials to write again in case

my anticipations as to the former letter and its enclosures

are correct.

I hope you continue well in these terrible days.

Yours very sincerely,

Rees-Davies
