GOVERNMENT HOUSE,

HONG KONG.

31st October, 1938.

10

I have the honour to refer to my despatch

No. 756 of 11th October, 1938, on the subject of the payment of Widows' and Orphans' pensions at a fixed

rate of exchange and to enclose a copy of a letter

which has been received from Messrs. W.H. Stone and

Company, Solicitors, on behalf of Mr. J.J. Bryan, a pensioner of the Hong Kong Government.

2.

If the proposal made in the third paragraph

of my despatch under reference is approved the

principle will apply to Mr. Bryan's case and I shall

be grateful if Messrs. Stone and Company may be

informed in due course of the decision reached.

3.

I shall be glad if opportunity may also be

taken to inform them that it appears that the

prospective pension as quoted by them is incorrect. The correct figure is $1,002.06 subject to audit.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient, humble servant,

was. Wathest

Governor.
