My Lord,
Referring to Your Lordship's
Despatch No. 172 of the 7th September, 1906, informing me
that the leave of absence granted to Mr. S. B. C. Ross had

December next, and to my No. 221 of the 14th September
requesting that unless for some reason that to Your Lordship appeared paramount the leave of absence granted to
certain Officers of the Cadet Civil Service, including Mr.
Ross, might not be extended, I have the honour to enclose
an en clair version of a telegram despatched on the 9th
instant requesting that the extension of leave granted to
Mr. Ross might be cancelled, to enable Mr. L. A. M.
Johnston to proceed on the leave due to him.
