My Lord Marquis,

I have the honour most respectfully to place my name before Your Lordship as a Candidate for the Office of Chief Justice of Ceylon which I have reason to believe will shortly become vacant by the retirement of Sir Bruce Burnside.
I submitted to the Secretary of State for the Colonies last year a full Statement of my Services together with Copies of testimonials which I have from time to time received. I beg Your Lordship's kind perusal and favourable Consideration.
The Most Noble
The Marquis of Ripon, K.G., Secretary of State for the Colonies
