In addition to the facts set forth in the attached letter (1) I may add that I am aware that by the Right Honourable the Secretary of State's despatch No: 280 dated 8th December, 1899 an increase of 8 per cent was made to my salary from the 1st January 1900, such increase however was general "and in some cases much greater on account of the greatly enhanced cost of living.

The Under Secretary of State,
Colonial Office,
Downing Street.
