Hongkong, 13th September.
Another Quiet Week has passed, the only break in its monotony being the return, on Tuesday, of the Governor and his family. The weather has been fine and rather hot, but dry for the most part. Light showers fell on three mornings, but not enough to lay the dust. Tt is trying to rain as I write, but it will only be a slight shower.
We should like to see some more rain before the dry weather sets in and the monsoon changes.
