Trusting that this application may receive your favourable consideration, and that you may be pleased to submit the same to His Excellency The Governor.
I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient Servant, C. C. Malsch, Assistant Engineer.
No 52, Public Works Department, 26th February 1889.
I have the honour to transmit herewith the enclosed letter from Mr. C. C. Malsch, Assistant Engineer in this Department, applying for an increase of salary, or if this cannot be granted, asking that the Governor be pleased to recommend him to the Secretary of State for promotion in some other Colony.
Mr. Malsch finds himself, in fact, in the unfortunate position of many other subordinate officers...
