My dear Creasy,

In reply to your letter of January 5th, addressed

to Hardinge, I am writing to say that His Majesty has

been pleased to approve the suggestion made by the

Governor of Hong Kong, in the enclosed despatch, that

the central point of the celebration of the Colony's

centenary should be the unveiling of a statue of The

King.

His Majesty feels that he should be portrayed in

Robes and a Crown, and, whilst The King is prepared to

leave the question of a Sculptor to the Hong Kong

authorities, I am to suggest that Sir William Reid Dick

would be a good choice.

Gerald Creasy Esq., OBE.,

Colonial Office.

Yours sincerely,

Ecrirsille
