and
annum, I have
to acquaint you
Subsequently
that it was decided
by Her Majesty's
late government that an annual salary of £3000 would not be an inadequate remuneration for
the additional export duties
which devolve
upon the government of this Colony. The Salary has
accordingly been
fixed at this
341
increased amount
and
you
will
be at liberty to
8
draw at the
rate of
£5000
per annum during your tenure of appointment.
