THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, APRIL 17, 1919.
It is not surprising that you yourself and the IIonourable Members of the Councils were, in the circumstances, at a loss to understand the reasons which induced me to ask the Secretary of State so suddenly to relieve me of my duties. I now hasten to inform you that on the 15th of January I was obliged to send the enclosed telegram to Lord Milner, and that I received the enclosed reply.
I am happy to say that since the attack from which I suffered, my health has gradually improved.
The Resolution which you were good enough to move at the meeting of the Councils and the speeches in which the Resolution was supported have profoundly moved me; and I would ask you to convey to the Honourable Members of the Councils my deep and abiding sense of their warm appreciation of whatever services I have been able to render to the Colony of Hongkong. I value especially the expressions of esteem and affection which they have extended to my wife and to my family.
The sorrow which we feel at parting with Hongkong is, we beg to assure you, wonderfully lightened by the sympathy and appreciation which your letter and its enclosures express.
I have, &c.,
(Sd.) F. H. MAY.
Copy of telegram sent to Lord Milner on January 15th, 1919.
On the 10th of January I had a slight cerebro-vascular attack affecting right leg. In doctors opinion should not risk return to post, especially if pressure of work. On public grounds alone it appears best to tender my resignation with great regret, from such date as you may decide.
MAY.
Copy of answer received from Lord Milner on January 21st, 1919.
Have received your telegrom 15th January with great regret. In the circumstances can only accept your resignation from the end of February with much reluctance and warm thanks for your long and distinguished services. Am informing Hongkong. Sincerely hope that with rest your health will be re-established.
