This quarter has to be emitted the notification of appointment of not more than 500 (five hundred).
If you are prepared to accept the appointment please present yourself to one of the Medical Advisers of this Department, whose names are given on the attached letter, for the purpose of being medically examined. The letter is to be detached and taken with him; and you will be required to pay him a fee of one guinea. He will send in a report direct to this Department.
If finally selected for appointment, you will be provided with a free passage to the Colony, on your signing the usual agreement with the Crown Agents for the Colonies, Downing Street, S.W., by which you will be bound to repay to the Colonial Government the cost of your passage in the event of your relinquishing the appointment within three years of the date of your arrival in the Colony for any other reason than mental or physical infirmity.
You will be entitled to half salary from the date of your embarkation from this country, and to full salary from the date of arrival in the Colony.
I am to request that you will inform me of the earliest date on which you will be prepared to leave for the Colony, in order that the necessary communications may be made to the Governor and to the Crown Agents; and I am to request you to be good enough to make arrangements for leaving at as early a date as possible. Telegram has been received from the Governor stating that the services are required.
Your obedient Servant,
