To
The Honourable
The Colonial Secretary
Sir,
I have the honour to again
receive the appointment of Trade Instructor
at St Helena,
I filled that position for four
years and during that time, I believe
I met with the approval of my Superior
Officers both with referencee to my charactor [sic.]
and the way I conducted the duties
devolved upon me,
I resigned in October last
my principle reason for doing so, was
the small salary paid for my Services
and no apparent chance of promotion,
although through my energy a very large
number of orders were executed, never
before made at St Helena, and consequently
the number of prisoners under my control
increased from 28 to 65, and the recipts [sic.]
from £1200 to £2600, —
In again returning to take
up duties at St Helena, I pray, you
may be pleased to increase my Salary
from £130 to £150 . such Sum being
Small compared to Salary's [sic.] paid to
Cutters in town,
I beg to refer you to
Captain William Townley . Sheriff of
Queensland
[Marginalia. Wm. Davies]
