month. I assume he is entitled to the double exchange compensation allowance, which he will draw from 1 Jan, 1902, this will be an addition of $100 to the combined salary / allowance each month, on half of which he is now drawing.
I take the dollar rate 2./.
This addition, however, he would only draw between 1 Jan and 11 Oct.
I would reply by asking whether he is not entitled to the double exchange allowance, and agree that he is not entitled to the gratuity proposed, but cut it down to 6/100 if he is. And make the suggestion as suggested at A.F.24/4.
Mr Lucas? approve proposed gratuity, with or further remark.

Sir,
I have the honour to submit for your favourable consideration the enclosed copy of a letter, dated the 11th ultimo, from the Acting Postmaster-General, covering an application from Mr. H. Dixon, Acting Postmaster at Shanghai, for some special consideration from this Government in view of the extra expense to which he has been put through having been sent from Hongkong to Shanghai to take the place of Mr. Solly during the absence of the latter on half pay leave.
I have every reason to believe that the facts are as stated by Mr. Dixon and Mr. Lewis, and that Mr. Dixon has, through ability and hard work, brought the Shanghai Post Office into a state of efficiency which it has not enjoyed for many years.
After consultation with the Acting Postmaster-General and the Colonial Treasurer, I have no hesitation in recommending that Mr. Dixon be granted a gratuity of $600. Mr. Solly went on leave on April 12th, 1901, and Mr. Dixon has acted for him since that date. Mr. Solly's leave has been extended to October 11th, next, so Mr. Dixon's acting appointment will continue for more than six months longer.
