Tea Right Honourable EDWIN MONTAGU,
; Majesty's Secretary of State for India,
Simla, the 18th October 1918.
We have the honour to refer to the correspondence ending with vour
predecessor’s telegram, dated the 16th September 1915, regardin'* customs
arrangements at Basra. In our telegram, dated 8th September°1915 we
proposed inter alia that Mr. C. R. Watkins of the Imperial Customs Service
should draw a salary of Rs. 1,050 per mensem to be increased to Rs. 1,100 per
mensem in May 1916, when his next increment under the time scale of his
Department fell due.
2. It was not possible at the time to foresee that Mr. Watkins’ deputation
would be a prolonged one. We have now reconsidered the question of his
emoluments and have sanctioned the grant to him, with effect from the 27th
May 1917, of the salary which he would have received in India but for his
deputation plus the usual Mesopotamian deputation (duty) allowance of
Rs. 800 a month.
3. We trust that our action will be approved.
We have the honour to be,
Sir,
Jour most obedient, humble servants,
