W Qear Biaxter,
^^iny tbanks for your letter of the bth April
about Uie eHjoluments of the various officers at -ri.aen
aurin^ Heilfy^s absence on leave.
^i^ntwick has in fact been dealt with under the Indian
Fundamental :iules, under the provisions of which an
officer officiating araws the pay of the post in which
he officiates. Ihe effect in Wightwick* s case would
be that he would be paid as an Indian Seconu Glass
Kesident (Hs*3,000 plus £13. 6 . 8 less 5 per cent, cut)
and no question of an acting allowance of ds.40Q a
month would arise. This seems a satisfactory solution
from your point of view and that of the Treasury and it
is a pity that the *aen authorities did not make clear
at an earlier stage on what basis precisely tney had
proposed that wightwick should be remunerated.
It le clear from Reilly’s latest telegram thal

Yours sincerely,
