Sir,
I have the honour to state that the amount of my travelling
and other incidental expenses such as Postage telegrams and
cab hire chargeable to the Colonial Service upon which I have
been engaged since the 17h August amount to
£58.5s.4d and
I shall feel obliged by its being paid to my credit at Messrs
Cox & Co. Charing Cross. In this I have not included the personal
allowance per diem as I do not think it should be asked for if the
Colonial pay be sanctioned from the date of commencing to do duty
vide my letter of this day's date.
The Under Secretary of State
