I have the honour to offer myself as a candidate for the post of Chief Clerk in your Department which I understand will fall vacant early in the coming year. In making this application, which I trust will meet with your favourable consideration, I may add that I should neither seek nor expect, at any time in the future, promotion in the Far Eastern Cadet Service.
The Honourable
F. B. May, C.M.G.,
Colonial Secretary.
I have etc.,
(88.) R. Crofton.
