Crown Solicitor, Queen's Proctor, Coroner &c for the Colony, still under the Circumstances in which you are placed. I do not see that you had any moral possibility for you to remain in the Colony and support yourself on the very brittle Salary allowed by Government. Your duties could not be conscientiously performed without a Staff of assistants - at least one good clerk and an efficient bailiff. The salaries for which, with the rent of a proper office, would have entirely eaten up your salary or left you so small a margin that it would be absurd to think of supporting yourself upon it. The Clerks in our office had no alternative but to do so as it was ...
Ine European clerk and a Portuguese boy cost us £290 a year between them, and next year that must be increased. After an experience of some six years and upwards as a Solicitor, I find that a respectable position cannot be kept up under at least $120 a month, and even then, rigid economy must be practised. Your entire Salary only amounts to that sum! I am sure that you carry with you to England the good wishes not only of the Profession but of the Community in general, and wishing you a happy re-union with your family.
Believe me to remain, Your very faithful,
D. I. Stronken. S... James Brown. Bit Molay Pulle Fern of Gaskell Brown.
