In Rennie to Lord John Russell
My Lad,
Auditor General's Office Victoria, Hong Kong
10 October 1859.
462
I have been furnished by
M. Bruce with a copy of
Your Lordship's despatch to him
of 31 July last, referring
to an Application made in the month
of May for an increase of salary
and Appointment of a Foreign
office Clerk, in consequence of the largely increased duties with which I have been charged since the removal of the Superintendence of Trade from Hong Kong and the opening of the Japanese Ports.
The Lords of the Treasury
