Dear Sir,

With reference to the question of my salary, about which I spoke to you when I called, I trust you will forgive me for troubling you further in the matter, but I find that the view that it is inadequate is held not only by myself.

Let's correct and reformat the text according to the given rules: The date "16th Nov 1909" and the address "2 Clarges Street Piccadilly" suggest that the letter is from Collins. The correct spelling is "Piccadilly" instead of "Picadilly", and "forgive" instead of "forgin", "troubling" instead of "truthing". The initial part of the text is not directly related to the main body of the letter and seems to be OCR misinterpretation or fragments of other texts. The corrected version will be:

2 Clarges Street, Piccadilly,
16th Nov. 1909.

PUBLIC WORKS OFFICE,
