Mr. S. A. Pilbeam,

Eastern Department,

Colonial Office.

With reference to your minute No.53928/38

of 25th July 1938, regarding Captain John Reynolds

repatriated from Hong Kong, I attach for your

information a copy of a letter and enclosure from the

Seamen's Hospital in reply to our application for the

refund of the sums of £16.16.9d. and Hong Kong $ 3.71

deposited with the Steward of the Hospital by the

Peninsular & Oriental Steam Navigation Co., and also

a copy of a letter from the London County Council on

the same subject.

Will you please say whether any further action

is necessary at this stage, regarding the recovery of the

money and also whether the Seamen's Hospital Account

should be paid in the meantime.

You will notice that the "deposit" has dwindled

to £15.16.4d.
