I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt

of your confidential despatch of the 23rd December,

on the subject of Mr. Robert Ho Tung, and I enclose

Enclo.No copies of a letter which I wrote to Sir Robert Ho Tung

Enclo No. 2.

concerning this matter and of Sir Robert's reply.

2.

You will observe that Sir Robert himself

apparently made application to Marshal Chang Tso-lin

for a military commission for his son in the Chinese

army. He did this without any prior reference to me

or to any department of the Hong Kong Government.

Indeed the whole affair has been a complete surprise

to me and I am much obliged for the information supplied in your despatch under reply.

Sir,

Your most obedient, humble servant,

THE RIGHT HONOURABLE

LIEUTENANT COLONEL L.C.M.S. AMERY, M.P.,
