IJy dear Monteith,
Very many thanks for your letter
Ho:P.B69/£5 of 26-3-25. I am very sorry my letter
was undated, will you be good enough to date it the
21st of March 1925, which was the date of despatch,
I have dated my own copy accordingly ?
J-nX ift* S/4-
To take the points you raise in
sequence:-
Letter A.!i.B.8831/4/1'.I. was sent by
Chief Accountant, India Office The department of the British Government to which the Government of India reported between 1858 and 1947. The successor to the Court of Directors. , on 9-6-23, and signed
"G.Smith".
If you could be good enough to ask him
to show you a copy of my reply, you will see that I
questioned the total, US.358.15.9, observing that the
claim should be RS.499.4.5., I think,as I have no copy
of the letter; at any rate he replied asking for documents
in support of my contention.
This was another exarjple of my plaint
in the first paragraph of my last letter to you, and
rather than he bothered further 1 allowed the full sum
claimed to be cut to close the matter, as I hoped. The
difference between Rs.858.15.9 claimed in that letter and
R S .649.7.6. actually owed, is the difference I refer to
in the penultimate paragraph of my letter of the 21 - 3 -^.
With reference to page 5, you are .quite
right, and thank you for pointing it out. -he
