I recommend therefore that he be granted a pension of $1,680 a year (the Salary attached to his late office) plus $644 per annum.
5. I enclose on a separate form the particulars required to be furnished in reference to persons recommended for Retiring allowances.
6. As Mr. Grandy's office has been abolished, I think his pension should commence from the 1st October last, the date at which his Salary ceased. And as he has represented to me that he cannot support himself without either Salary or pension, I have sanctioned, pending the receipt of your Grace's decision, the issue to him, from the 1st October, of a temporary allowance at the rate of $644 per annum, in accordance with the provisions of the Strang Pension Minute.
I have the honor to be, My Lord Duke, Your Grace's Most Obedient Servant
