Mr Chamberlain will be glad to hear whether this is really the case or not.
Care should be taken to remind you that your application was based upon grounds of ill-health, and that consequently your leave can only be extended so as to enable you to recuperate with a view to the due performance of your proper duties on your return to the Colony.
4. Mr Chamberlain will therefore scarcely feel himself justified in sanctioning this extension if it is to be devoted to the pursuit of legal studies and not to the purpose originally mentioned by you. He considers that, as your application for extended leave was based upon grounds of health, any legal study should be discontinued in the event of the extension being granted.
[To the] Governor.
No. 2.89 Date.
Before sanctioning the extension M. Chamberlain will be glad to know whether or not you are employing your leave working for the bar.
