Herewith the Estimates asked for. I have
made allowances for my promotion. The 8 office hands are the men I intend asking for. Of the 2 Field Inspectors one is being engaged in India. Of the 44 Field Surveyors I have 19 here, 3 of whom I wish sent back to India so I am not including them in the estimates; the remaining 25 are being engaged in India, including the new 10 Surveyors asked for today by Mr. Gompertz and approved of by His Excellency the Governor.
I am including House and Office Rent in the Estimates as, after the next field season, Hongkong will be most convenient as headquarters.
