my dear Maude,
I have received your letter of the 23rd
January with reference to Commander Tasil Taylor.
I have looked fully into his case and con-
sulted with the senior officials of the Cyprus and Hong Kong Departments, and 1 regret to say that I fear there is very little, if any, chance of his getting
the post of Commissioner at Limasol, as his past ex- perience is hardly of the kind required and it is more than probable that the vacancy will be filled
by local promotion.
I am sorry that i cannot give you a more
favourable reply.
Yours sincerely,
Lionel Earche
COLONEL F.S.MAUDE,
