Assistant Engineer to subsequently pt. of Crown Lands, and during such period of service the cost of living, house rent too, has steadily increased some 50%
Gregore.
In burdened with which the cost of monthly family remittances has proportionately increased, the cost of exchange being at present time ruinous, my wife being unable to live in the Colony on account of sickness and medical advice.
I would therefore beg your kind considerations on my application & would add that any increment to my present salary, however small, would be gratefully acknowledged.
I have the honour to be,
Your most obedient Servant,
Charles Malsch.
