sir,

L

wat

I have the honour to request that the decision re insurance and travelling expenses that I put in for last August may be re-considered, as having trevelled at great personal danger, and, ca the Japanese boet the one just before the Kirano Maru torpedoed, folt it was absolutely necessary to insure my luggage, although I have never done so bofore on my other nino (9) voyages. Travelling for the Govoriment with insurance cost me Just on two (2) months pay, which is a very corious consideration

I was told by the Crown Agents that the train fare would be sent to me I therefore roquest as an act of grace

to one.

that the sum of £ 8

11 0. may be refunded to me.

•

I have the honour, Sir,

to be,

The Right Honble

your obedient servant,

Imaller.

The Secretary of State for the Colonies.
