Dear Hong Kong Police Force Personnel Wing,

Thank you very much for the information. Although it is not what I wanted (to wit a table of Ranks, not a table of positions within P.H.Q.) I will nonetheless, if you are in possession of these tables, ask that you supply me with a copy of the organisation of a police division pre-regionalisation, if possible.

Yours faithfully,

Luke Chan
