Bishop Burdon has volunteered ti undertake the duties of this office
in addition to his
own until a
sucechon shall have been appointed
by you.
He
Ite has in fact during the five weeks, when Mr. Fadd was incapacitated by illnes,
past
performed the duties of
Gentleman. I know of
that
ма
better
arrangement that could be made
and have gladly availed myself of Bishop Burdon's offer. According to regulations I can only cauction the payment to this Lohip of his half the Salary of the Colonial chaplain, but looking to the
194
praiseworthy motive that has induced the Bishop to volunteer
money
and to the object to which the is to be applied, I recommend
that authority may
be
given for
the
payment to hire of the whole of the available salary during
that he may temporai period that he
fill this Office. No portion of the Bishop's Salary is drawn from Colonial Funds
I have the honor to be.
Sir,
Your Mint Obedient
Stumble Servant,
