Cape Helles.

Staff Paymr (V)
H.M.S. “Europa”
Sir,
Enclosed I send receipts for slops supplied to vessels in my Division.
* The receipt from M.L. 508 has not been returned to me but possibly the C.O. is sending it direct.*
Regarding the slops for my vessels everything was correct with the exception of 1 Razor, 1 Hat ribbon & 1 pair of braces short.
The shortage of the braces I have discovered, as on checking your “Summary” sheet I find the pair for H.M.D. “Prime” was not included, although it was on Prime’s sheet.
The other two items I cannot trace.
Your obedient servant
R.H. Palmer
Lieut R.N.V.R.
*Receipt from M.L. 508 just to hand so is enclosed.
