Your request to be furnished with

a certificate regarding your resignation

from the Hong Kong Service is being

referred to the Governor.

3. The S. of S. sees no objection to

your applying to the Crown Agents for

further employment outside Hong Kong and

the Malay Peninsula, but I am to say that

vacancies are not very frequent, and that

to inform you that Mr. Shirvington has

applied to me for further employment,

explaining that the ground of his

resignation was illhealth. It is not

referred, will be able to offer him

further employment, and in that event

he asks for a Certificate certifying

maybe

that his resignation was voluntary, etc.

You will, no doubt, cause him to be

furnished with whatever document is

customary in the circumstances,
