but I would call Mr. Secretary Harcourt's particular attention to the matters mentioned in Paragraph 1 of
this letter.

3. I note your statement that the Crown Agents will issue to me my full salary up to the 5th March
inclusive, and half salary for the remainder of my leave
of absence, subject to readjustment.
I beg to point out, however, that I am entitled to
full pay to the 29th May, my salary having been commuted
according to length of service in the Colony as appears
on my leave certificate.
I desire also to point out that to place me on half
pay on so short a notice renders it somewhat inconvenient
for me to arrange my financial matters; my 111-health
has also been a source of expense to me. Again, if you
will kindly refer to enclosure marked "D" in my letter
to you of the 30th January, it will be noted that I
worked 163 days extra, 64 of which were Sundays, in con-
nection with the New Post Office even during the years
1909 and 1910 without extra recognition and this case is
by no means an isolated one,
I am,
Sir,
Your obedient Servant,
H.G. Fisher.
To
The Under Secretary of State,
Colonial Office,
London, S.T.
