in
the
arrangements of the British
at this Port.
Post office
With
a view to obviate this inconvenience and
at least
Agency efficient as any
to make this
as useful
as possible
at this Port, I have
the honor to request your
Sanction
to the employment of Two Coolies
with
a probationary pay of ($6) Six
Dollars
a month.
A delivery by
one
Coolie would
be tedious
and unequal
and would
give rise to much vexatious criticism
in respect to favoritism and on
the whole I am convinced it will be to the interest of H. M's Postal Service to allow two Coolies for the
purpose pointed out.
In the event of your sanctioning
this expenditure I request you to furnish me with instructions and Voucher forms
to enable me to make the
payments in
accordance with the rules of the Postal
Office.
(Signed) Philip B. Walsh
(True Copy.)
Colonial Secretary.
