Sir,
I am directed to inform you that it is proposed
to select you for appointment as Assistant Director
of Public Works, Hong Kong, with salary at the rate of £600 a year, rising by triennial increments of £60 to £720,
but as you have been drawing £600 a year in Trinidad for the last 3 years, you will be allowed to receive £660 a year from the date of joining the Hong Kong service,
and £720 after 3 years.
The rules as to leave, pension, contribution
to the Widows and Orphans' Pension Fund, and the rate
at which the above salary will be converted into dollars
for the purpose of payment in the Colony are stated in
the enclosed print.
3.
You should understand that if you accept this
appointment it will be necessary to curtail your leave
in this country to some extent.
4. You will be entitled to half salary from the
date of your embarkation from this country, and to full salary from the date of your arrival in the Colony.
