The Honourable
The Director of Public Works.
sir,
I have been accepted for service in the New
Service Battalions now being raised in Great Britain and am
required to sail on the S.S. "Delta" on or about the 2nd pro-
ximo, I therefore beg that my resignation be accepted and that
the customary obligations referred to in my agreement with the
Government be waived.
I offer my resignation only because I understand
that the Government will grant no leave to its officers for
Military Services.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your obedient servant,
SD.
Jag. S. Chalmers.
