So far as I can find out, if an R.M.L.I.Officer
wa 3 seconded to fill a paid establishment vacancy in
India as Aide-de-Camp to a governor etc., he would get

above, and the whole would form a charge on Indian
Revenues, Naval funds bearing no charge in respect of
him. If there is anything else about this, I can find
out for you,
lease let me know.
Yours sincerely,
