I have served for 7 years under various Heads of Department, such as Mr. Marsh, Mr. Sibilliary, Mr. D. M. Lians – Mr. D. Immachy, Dr. Stewart, Mr. Fleming, Miss Frances Hamming, and Mr. Mordaunt Baines, without any complaint from them, and your favourable opinion about me will naturally be most gratifying.
I feel that there is a necessity for checks. I mention that the ability to perform my duty, which I have done to the best of my knowledge and ability, has been satisfactory. As regards the tune to perform the work, I consider that partly due to my zeal and partly due to the nature of the work, I have been able to carry out my duties to the satisfaction of my superiors.

I have the honour to be, Sir, Your most obedient servant,
