GOVERNMENT HOUSE,

HONGKONG. 22nd January, 1920.

My Lord,

With reference to Your Lordship's Circular

Despatch of the 25th October, 1919, on the subject of the

repatriation of ex-Army Officers and men, I have the honour to

forward a copy of a letter received from Mr.T.W.Ainsworth, a

Passed Cadet in this Service, who was formerly a Lieutenant

in the 53rd Company of the Chinese Labour Corps.

2.

Though Mr. Ainsworth's application does

not strictly come within the purview of the above mentioned

Despatch, I bave forwarded his application, for Your Lord-

-ship's consideration as it would appear that the journey

arranged by the Repatriation Authorities was unduly delayed by action of the Government in commandeering the S. S. "Monteagle*.

3.

Mr. Ainsworth applied to the Repatriation

Authorities at Winchester in a letter dated the 30th June,

1919, for a detention allowance but has so far received no

reply.

I have the honour to be, My Lord, Your Lordship's most obedient, hable servant,

B.E. Stutts

Governor,&c..

VISCOUNT MILNER, G.C.B.,
