Gentlemen,

I have the honour to state that my transfer to

the English Civil Service is being applied for: and that it

will be suggested that the appointment shall date from

September 1st last. I therefore ask, in the event of the

transfer being effected, whether I shall be required to refund

the salary already drawn by me for September from the Colonial

Office? and, if so, will you kindly state the sum that I

drew. The object of this letter is to put on record that it

was not my intention to endeavour to draw two salaries for

suggest one month without official recognition and would therefore

that this letter shall stand in abeyance until the question

comes before you in due course.

I have the honour to be,

Gentlemen,

Your most obedient Servant,

(Signed) Richard F. Drury.

Assoc. Mem. Inst. C.E.

The Crown agents for the Colonies.
