Wodehouse was appointed Chief Clerk in the Colonial Secretary's Office, the Captain Superintendent of Police requested that Mr. Compool might again resume the acting appointment of Chief Inspector and be allowed to do so in the same capacity with an additional salary of $20 a month.\n\nPage 22 is kept as is, assuming it follows the original format of having page numbers indicated at the top or bottom.
