From P.P.J. Wodehouse, Esq., C.I.E.,

To

Crown Agents.

Royal Societies Club,

63, St. James' Street,

28.7.21.

Gentlemen,

I think there must be a considerable number

of vacancies now for the Hong Kong Police though I

understand that you have only official information of there being one. As Inspector Gordon (now in

Scotland) has 3 Scotch recruits waiting, I shall be

much obliged if you could enquire from Hong Kong

how many men they will require this autumn -

Force is hardly ever up to strength, and this

causes great inconvenience.

The Scotch recruits are,

on the whole, the most satisfactory.

Yours faithfully,

(Sgd) P.P.J. Wodehouse.
