Sir,
15984
With reference to previous correspondence terminating
with Mr. Lucas' letter of 28th July last, I am directed
by the Secretary of State for India in Council to inform
you that it has been found desirable to continue the
services of Dr. Lowson till 18th September to enable him to
write jointly with Surgeon Major Reade a report upon the
Epidemic of Plague in Western India. It will be seen from
the accompanying letter to the first mentioned Officer
that he will receive during the period of such employment
a consolidated allowance of £174.19.8 being two thirds of
the amount drawn by him while on active service in India.
I am to add that as the sum in question will devolve
upon the Indian Exchequer it has been assumed that Mr.
Secretary Chamberlain will acquiesce in the arrangement
which has been communicated to Dr. Lowson, and which is in
supersession of the proposals contained in the Colonial
Office letter under acknowledgment.
The Under Secretary of State, Colonial Office.
1081. 5 rms.-1/97. I. 157.
I have the honour to be, Sir,
Your obedient Servant,
A Graly
