Dear Rowell,

I apologise for going on nagging about the figures in your letter E.D.2603/45 of 26th August, but I do not think that in (f) of this letter you have taken into account the typist's error over Dr. Woo's salary referred to in (c). Should not the total maximum excess commitment now be £1,367 to include Dr. Woo's extra £47
In the list accompanying your letter Monks's salary is still given as £570 and Miss Mansfield's maximum salary is given as £488. I presume that these are typist's errors for £525 and £468 respectively.
I am sorry that I had passed on to you in paragraph (e) of my letter of 8th August an interpretation of the Burnham Report ruling about additional increments given by the Ministry over the telephone. I have now obtained from the Salaries Branch of the Ministry confirmation that a graduate who qualified by five years' training for three additional increments under paragraph 4(b) of the Burnham Report on Scales of Salaries for Teachers in Primary and Secondary Schools would be entitled to another two additional increments on the maximum for his degree, making five increments in all.
T.R. ROWELL, ESQ.
Yours sincerely,
