In reply to your Despatch No.455 of the 18th ultimo, I have the honour to recommend that Miss Watson be granted a gratuity of $350, which will practically represent a half month's pay for each completed six months of service.
If you approve, I have to request you to be so good as to give the necessary instructions to the Crown Agents.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your most obedient humble servant,
THE RIGHT HONOURABLE ALFRED LYTTELTON, K.C., M.P.
