Sir,

GOVERNMENT HOUSE,

HONG KONG,

30th September, 1938.

I have the honour to inform you that an

application for a passport has been received from Mrs.

Vera Lock.

2.

Mrs. Lock and her husband Reginald Redvers

Lock are the subject of a Foreign Office circular to

consular and passport control officers dated 16th

December, 1930, a copy of which is attached. On applying

to this Government she made a statement of which I enclose

a copy for your information. She claims to have been

offered employment in Canton, but is unable to proceed

there without the necessary papers. In the circumstances,

I suggest that approval might be given to the issue to

Mrs. Lock of a limited passport for travel between

Hong Kong, Shanghai and Canton only.

3. I would enquire further whether it would be

possible to locate her husband, who is now said to be in

England, his last address being c/o Canada House,

Trafalgar Square, London, S. W.1, with a view to persuading

him to make some provision for his wife, as it seems

unlikely that she will ever be allowed to return to England.

I have the honour to be,

THE RIGHT HONOURABLE

MALCOLM MACDONALD, M.P.,

&C.,

&C.,

Sir,

Your most obedient, humble servant,

&c.

Governor.
