entertained later on, and I now have much pleasure in seconding the Postmaster General's wish that Mr. Place's salary may be increased from £175 to £200 a year, especially as he bears an excellent character and is most favourably reported on by his Chief.

My Lord,

Your Lordship's most Obedient

humble servant,

Charles Meity
