C. E. Trevelyan has confirmed JH's recollection that HF agreed to annual salary of £100 when entering reorganized Mint.

Formal announcement of HF's nomination by Treasury to fill office of junior clerk in Mint Office vacated by [C. B.] Piers. HF is assigned to W. T. Brande in Coining department.

HF and F. R. Brande received similar appointments, but HF's annual salary is £100 while Brande's is £150. Asks JH to raise HF's salary to £150. [JH annotation: Replied on 19 July.]

Disappointed by JH's response. Believes HF's case is identical to that of F. R. Brande. Lists benefits accruing to Brande that HF does not have. Asks JH to reconsider raise in HF's salary.

Still believes that HF's experience and competence are equal to those of F. R. Brande. Plans to appeal directly to Treasury.

Explains why JH considers HF's case to be different from that of F. R. Brande. Does not believe that HF's appeal to Treasury will be seriously considered.
