It appears from the Hongkong Estimates for the current year that the salary of Mrs. Lewis is $20, and not $30 per mensem as stated in the Enclosure to your despatch No. 229.
2. Has the Governor authorised the payment?
3. You do not state whether Mr. Lewis was paid any salary in advance prior to her departure, bringing the equivalent of two months' salary at 4/- the dollar, which will apparently be due to her, as she stated she was in want of money. I have authorised the payment on the understanding that her salary was not paid in advance. On the footing she will be entitled to the amount at the date of her departure from this country, viz. the 17th inst.
4. As she will thus get 4/- for this amount appears to be in benefit of two months' salary at 4/- the Dollar, I am disposed to think that the payment to her is sufficient. There is no reason for allowing her extra money which you proposed at 73/- a day, as she is receiving board & lodging free while she is in this country. I request you therefore to send home a corrected statement of Expenses incurred in connection with the prisoner Carew, and to be forwarded to their Dept. for transmission to the HO; and
