Lt. Poynter R.M. Mr Milne (£40 salvage.) 19 March 1860 My dear sir

I think you mistake about paying - Milne and the other two men are the salvers, - they hired the workmen and it is their business to see them paid you sent me a List of labourers, and fixed their ear of hire, and the List was afterwards corrected un -der your directions,- I have obtained the amount shown at the foot of the List, and it is the business of Milne and the two other salvers to make the pay -ments,- Had I contemplated a withdrawal from this duty I should not have sent Milnes salvage of £40 for which I {should} will hold him responsible till the Labourers he employed are pais, and I have written to him to that effect, - The salvage awarded to the two other men (£40) I still have in my hands, and shall retain possession of the same until those Labourers are settled with, very truly yours, J.S.
