5th September 1911
sir,
With reference to the Colonial Secretary's letter of the 31st August 1991 received by me after I had written accepting the post of Assistant Crown Solicitor I should like to know whether a mistake has not been made as to the salary mention ed therein.
I was informed that my post was to come under the third Class and that I understood to be $400 to to £560 by £20 annually with Duty Pay of £100.
£
In the letter referred to above I am offered £420 rising to £540 by £40 triennially, the old scale, which from the 1st July 1911 has been abolished. I do not therefore understand the offer,moreover as mine is a billet declared to be eligible for Cadets to which the Scheme of Salaries dating from the 1st July 1991 particularly applies.
Iam Sir
Your Obedient Servant
