his junior in his department might take the holiday of
which he was in absolute need recommended that a lenient view should be taken of Mr Crow's conduct.
With much hesitation I adopted that recommendation,
but in the interests of the public service and with a
view of marking my grave displeasure of his conduct I felt it my duty to impose
upon
him the severest
punishment short of dismissal at which I could impose.
I enclose for your
information a copy of the letter which I caused to be
addressed to him on 19th June,
and I ask for your
concurrence in the
decision at which I arrived.
I have the honour to be,
Sir, Your most Obedient
Humble Servant,
William Robinson
