In the case of
The Masons.
Davis and Minhinnett I have to
inform you that the rate of wages as originally fixed by Mr. Price was go dollars per mouth and in
a subsequent letter he stated that, in his opinion,
addition
of month would be
5 dollars
Oh
per fair
an
Equivalent for the privilege of
remitting at the special rate
of 4/2 to the dollar.
We would therefore
recommend that $95 per
Month
be allowed the men and
Lue
propose to insert this amount in their Agreements. As, however,
they
is
they have already enjoyed the privilege of remittance it possible that they may object
to the alteration, in which case
it would perhaps, be advisable
to allow them to remit at the
rate of 1/2 rather than love their services, as, in addition to being good mechanics, they are acclimatized, and understand the Chinese workmen.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your obedient Servant,
