Mr. Lewis would appear, from the last

sentence of paragraph 4 of his letter, to be under the in- pression that the object of the Sterling Salaries Scheme was to provide increases in all Officers salaries, which certainly was not the case.

well entitled.

Your most obedient

Humble servant,

Henry Make
