My application then was for an increase to the pay of the post, and was refused, because the salary of the post was considered to be \"sufficiently high\".

S. Kadoorie has just called to see me with regard to his naturalization papers. Apparently there is some hitch owing to his having been too long away from Hong Kong. I can vouch for his prolonged absence from the Colony at that time being due to the work he was doing in Shanghai in connection with the reconstructions of various British Rubber Companies which had got into low water, and I think the late A. G. Stephen, who was Manager of our Shanghai Branch in those days, persuaded Kadoorie to remain in Shanghai and undertake that reconstruction work which was really in British interests. Under the circumstances, it would seem a little hard on Kadoorie if the time he spent in Shanghai handicaps him in obtaining his naturalisation. Perhaps with the foregoing information you may be able to assist him in obtaining his desire. \n\nWith kind regards and hoping you have a pleasant journey back to Hong Kong, \nYours, &c., \n**(sd.)
