Secondly, should the assignment & £4000 not be feasible, I should wish to be permitted to retire upon a Pension of £450 a year, the Commission being guaranteed to me as a favour; to which I may add, £750 would be annually saved to the Colony. I am Aware that there is not always equal facility in assigning such equivalents for appointments resigned in the Colonies, but I am induced to hope that the actual Saving, which will be effected, if either of my propositions be acquiesced in, is sufficiently large to have some weight with His Lordship in his consideration of a request, not, I trust unreasonable in itself, and to the accordance of which, I am bold to believe 3 Years of honorably attested Service constitute some claim.
Your Excellency will pardon my recurring briefly to my Soldier Career and Services; I would not be thought to overrate the importance of any Services I have been called upon to perform; but I allude to them because I have some faith in the value of the recorded testimony of many distinguished Civil and Military Officers, Superiors, to the Zeal and ability with which they have considered me to acquit myself.
