Kowloon 24th October 1904.
Sir,
I have the honour to request that you will forward through the prescribed channel this my application
for extra duty pay in connection with the Russian refugees
interned in the Camp at King's Park, Kowloon,
(a) As Officer Commanding the said persons and
Camp.
(b) As Interpreter to the Camp.
2. I am aware that the Royal Warrant for Pay etc makes no provision for the appointment referred to in (a)
above.
At the same time I respectfully beg to submit that, as it is
an unique one and entails a considerable amount of extra work
and responsibility, it merits special provision in respect to
extra duty pay.
3. As regards (b) above,
I trust that my application may be considered with reference
to the Royal Warrant for Pay etc, Part I Sec III, para 267,
for, although I am not employed as interpreter on the same
footing as therein mentioned, nevertheless my duties in this
respect are, for all practical purposes, analogous.
As regards my classification as officer interpreter, I would
mention that I passed the Interpreter's test in Russian in the
examination
