Dear Martin,

Confirming our phone conversation, I write to say

that, with regret, we will be unable to release a man for

service in the Assessor's Office in Hong Kong who is likely

to fill the bill (your reference 54002/1/40). The type of

we have so far been considering has had no experience of

the examination of accounts or the computation of profits and,

from the Governor's latest telegram, such experience seems to

be essential. Of the men we have with the requisite knowledge

and experience we have need of every one to cope with war

and that goes too for the posts of Tax Assessors.

1 am sorry we haven't been able to help.

taxation

Yours sincerely,

W. W. Morton.
