Dear Taylor,

Downing Street,

December, 1931.

Thanks for your letter of 31st October.

Colonel Drury's salary at date of retirement was £650

plus £147-3-0 cost of living bonus. He had had 30 years

Imperial service.

On the £650 he was awarded: -

pension 30/80ths = £243-15-0

lump sum 30/30ths = £650.

On the cost of living bonus he was awarded a

fluctuating pension which cannot exceed £55-3-7.

The

lump sum on the bonus was £100-6-3 computed with regard

to the cost of living figure at date of retirement.

What I meant by "similarly etc." was this.

When you come to retire Hong Kong will take her

scheduled service and final pensionable emoluments

5

and compute a pension of goths 60ths.
