Presumably for Hanson did not give the three months notice of his intention to leave and had therefore been called upon to refund his passage money; but as he is not in this country and appears to be out of reach, and had been allowed one year beyond his tenure of five years, it hardly seems to be a case in which it would be advisable to claim a refund of the cost of his return passage for which he is liable.
He is residing in New York, and there is every probability that the claim, if made, would not be complied with, and, unless we wish it, I do not propose to take that direction.
No remittance on account of his leave salary have been made to Hanson since £21 on 10th March. Shall we keep it against his passage money, or let him have it as proposed in the last paragraph?
I have looked at the leave certificate, and it seems to me that he is entitled to his leave pay from the date of his departure, or other date as per the leave certificate.
(Pd. seems to be an annotation by the Crown Agents, but I am not sure from the context).
