GOVERNMENT HOUSE.

HONGKONG. 2nd December, 1921.

sir,

With reference to your Confidential despatch

of the 6th October, have the honour to enclose a copy of

a letter from Major Willson written after his attention had been draw to his letter of the 23rd October, 1919, to the Colonial Office.

2.

I have no reason to suppose that Major

Willson intentionally gave his age incorrectly, and I think it is probable that inadvertently he gave the age at which he joined the army in 1914.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient humble servent,

7. E. Stubbe

Governor, &c.
