r. Ormsby-Gore received the enclosed this morning from Mr. B. H. Dobson, Deputy Commissioner in the Punjab.
He does not think that there will be much use in granting an interview, but before he replies he would be glad to know what you think about his application for some post in the Colonial Service in the event of his retiring from the I.C.S.
