Sir,

I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 19th February to thank you and kindly for the £20 granted me.

On the 19th December 19, you informed me that on the recommendation of the Governor of Hong Kong, you had granted a general increase of pensions. The Government of Ceylon and Straits Settlements have fixed the amounts of increase months ago.

I would therefore respectfully ask to be so good as to inform me as to why the Company pension granted to me has not been forwarded; as it only takes a few weeks at most for correspondence to reach London from Hong Kong; and from 19 December 19 to 15 April 20 is 4 months.

I was in receipt of the survey... a dozen copies may apply for examination on 1.4.1920.

The minimum of the scale was provisionally subject to adjustment when detailed instructions were read from Mary. Any money paid by the colony for 47... if H.H. should...

...was being audited on 2/4/20 alone. Reference 9031-1920, 82 Blenheim Place, Aberdeen M, dated 15 April 1920.

The original letter bears a stamp: REL. 17 APR 20, 355.

I remain,

Yours faithfully...
