give special conson to Mr. R.F. Johnston.. He
was formerly a brilliang member of the H.X. Cadet service
and has an almost unique knowledge of the Chinese, and
s persona gratissima with them. tug7r/yanøyãge. He was transferred to WWW. and
was expected ultimately to succeed Sir H. Lockhart as Commr.
but at the request of the 5.0. he took up duty as
Tutor to the young Emperor of China, and is considered
by F.0. to have rendered quite remarkable services in that
capacity. He is now stranded without a post and almost
without resources and I consider that he has a very
on
strong claim .M.C. for a high post.
I strongly hope that it will be possible to
give him the Col. Secship of H.K. for a few years.
incidentally
Fais will enable him to earn a decent pension,
•
since of course the whole of his service there
would be recomputed on his final salary.
