Young to Birch (Assistant Clerk)

I called on the Crown Agents last Wednesday to draw my Salary,
and was told that it had not been advised, as soon as it was
they would send the amount due me to Guernsey. Fearing it may
not yet have been advised, I drop you a line to ask you kindly
to move the necessary Machinery so that it may be done.

If the Colonial Office are in search of any hardworking
Officials, and have any good appointments to give away, I am
open to an offer, if it is anything better than the one I am now
holding.
