From L&T Archives Written by kathleen (elder) (1/31/2004 9:52 a.m.) in consequence of the missive, Fm the Ch 7 Notes in my edition.., penned by DeborahAnn

I found the following info about incomes for army officers, inter. al. (I have linked the entire post below.):

Army Lieutenant-colonel, such as Wickham’s regimental commander - Ł405 per year; the price of the commission was Ł1,500.

So it appears that Mrs Bennet is exaggerating a great deal! :-o
