9 would therefore suggest that unless you have in the Colonial service an energetic and thoroughly capable Engineer, who has had experience of large engineering works, to appoint to the post, it would be well to consult de Chadwick as to the selection of an Engineer at home to fill the vacancy.

9 have the honour to be, Sir, Your most obedient humble Servant M. J. Gascoigne Major General Administering the Government
The Right Honourable Joseph Chamberlain M.P. Downing Street.
