Miss Ruston,

Queen's College,

University of Melbourne.

15th March, 1946.

Dear Madam,

The Vice-Chancellor, Mr. D. J. Sloss, tells me that the

Government has allotted a sum of money for the settlement, in

part at least, of the salaries of former members of the Hong

Kong University teaching staff.

My application has already gone forward.

I should be

very glad if a draft could be made out in favour of my father,

Thomas H. MacKenzie, Esq.,

8, College Drive, Port Elizabeth, South Africa.

I am particularly anxious that the amount should not be

sent to Australia, as currency restrictions are at present very

hampering and would prevent my using the money outside the

Commonwealth.

Thanking you in anticipation,

I am,

Yours faithfully,

(Sgd) Norman H. MacKenzie,

(Former Lecturer in English, University of Hong Kong).
