sir,
I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of
Trgan
your letter No. 4386271917, and to express my
gratitude. for the consideration shewn to me by the
Secretary of State.
2. I addressed a letter to you on this subject
yesterday, before the recipt of yours under reply, and
I venture to submit, in addition to the arguments
therein contained, that the "Detached duty" allowance
is of the nature of a compensatory allowance,- to
compensate for the extra expense of detached duty-,
ani, as such, should not be treated as being in the
same category as the "Transport Allowance".
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your obedient Servant,
Nasil Saylor 7

COLONIAL OFFICE, S.W.
