the cost of the passage of Mr. Gunthorpe from Hong Kong to this country.
as it appears that Mr. Gunthorpe draws his half Salary in the Colony, during his leave of absence, there are no means of recovering from him in England
the sum of £90 which is due for this £90 this passage, and
£51
I have therefore to request that you will provide for the liquidation of this claim by stopping the amount out of Mr. Gunthorpe's Salary, by quarters
and that you will report to me when the whole amount has been recovered in order that it may be remitted
