The smallest monthly pay for which I can secure the services of one active lowest coolie, capable of discharging in a satisfactory manner the duties of his office.

Wages of Chinese Coolies range from three dollars to four dollars per month here. For "Three dollars" a month is the sum allowed by you. Japanese Coolie, however low in character and intelligence, would not consent to serve for a lower sum.

The Consular Office Coolie receives $6 (rather more than six dollars) for a month; and the duties of the Port office Messenger would require for their proper discharge a person whose character and services could not be estimated at less than those of the Consular office Messenger.

I can find a fit person. I will, pending your decision, employ him at $6 for messenger; and shall so arrange the terms as to be able to dissolve the agreement at the end of a month or two in the event of your disapproving of it.

I have,
