I would recommend that the salary be fixed at $3,360, equivalent at 1s 1⁄2 per dollar to £840 a year, but really worth, at the current rate of exchange, only £616. This is very nearly the same as he is now drawing as temporary Superintendent of Opium Refine.

His mild climate is the best asset of the post.
