Dear Mr. McIntyre,

53

re Pension,

I again earnestly request that immediate attention

The first payment

be given to my pension adjustment.

on my mortgage is almost due and I am unable to meet

it on account of the delay. The worry of being unable

to meet my commitments is seriously undermining my

health as I cannot sleep. It is very humiliating to me

to have to plead for my arrears to save myself from ruin.

I would respectfully point out that it is nearly nine

months since my vacancy was advertised. I am being

forced to reduce my standard of living to that of a lift-

man or a cleaner and I am nearly heart broken. It is

quite incomprehensible to me what I have done to merit

such treatment, or what the difficulty is. I was

transferred from the Hongkong Establishment without being

consulted and I have it in writing by the Colonial

Treasurer that this was done by the authority of the

Governor of Hongkong and that I should probably be

better
