Imaman of the Hong Kong Police, received a communication on January 15th instructing him to attend at Dr. Daniels to be examined to ascertain whether he was likely to become physically fit for further duty. At the time of receipt of this letter, my husband was in the Ramas Hospital, Albert Docks, where he went three days after landing in England, and died at that hospital on 19th January, leaving myself and three children, aged 7, 5, and 3 years respectively, practically destitute, having exhausted all my means in purchasing a ticket and other necessities ready for him to come to England when leaving the hospital. On his death being reported to the Crown Agents, they undertook the expense of his burial, for which I am very thankful. But at the present moment, I am in very straitened circumstances, with three children to provide for. May I ask your kind assistance in informing me whether there is any possibility of my being able to get any of the children into an orphanage or offering me any assistance, as my late husband had served the Crown for 8 years in the Marines and for 13 years in the Hong Kong Police? My husband's rank prevented his being allowed to belong to the Widows and Orphans Fund, so I have no claim in that respect. Your kind consideration of my case would be much appreciated by\n\nYours obediently, \nM. R.
