Dear Jeffries,
Many thanks for your letter of the 21st
January No. 13267 C. R. about L.H.King. The formula
you enclosed will enable the Treasury to work out
the awards and we can then consider whether any
special treatment can be recommended.
We recently sent you another pension
conundrum in the Governor's air mail despatch of the
1/53890/38 x 4th February No. 104 regarding the payment of pensions
NO P.F
at fixed rates of exchange. I am not sure that we
made it sufficiently clear that one of the officers
immediately concerned, Mr. de Souza, is pressing for
an early decision as his retirement is imminent and his arrangements are necessarily dependent on whether he will get the privileged rate if he lives outside
Hong Kong. It is a rather horrible subject but if it can be disposed of quickly we should be very
grateful.
C. J. Jeffries, Esq., 0.B.E.,
Colonial Office,
LONDON.
Yours sincerely,
S. Gaine
