during periods when I have been fortunate enough to draw aating
pay, as was the case last year. In this connection I would
point out that in order to raise the necessary funds to defray the passages of my wife and myself (1st Class Japanese Mail)
in 1912 (my son travelled free) I was compelled to let y
house and live for 6 months in the Government Pavilione
which I was fortunate enough to have allotted to me for that
period at a rent of $25.00 p.m. as against £169.50 p.m. I
could hardly repeat this arrangement before my next leave ag
I am now considered by the Pavilion Committee to be too
senior an officer to be given the opportunity again over
the heads of Junior married officers with very much less pay
than myself.

on my native servante consisting of

The market book represents all the fresh food bought

5 days.
