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 oblliged 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.
I have the honour to be Sir,
Y
r most obedient humble Servant
R.C. Moody
Col. R.E.
