in England. On that basis I am prepared to recommend
an extension of four months' study leave in accordance
with the usual practice.

If it
If these proposals are approved I shall
be greatly obliged if Mr. Kelvin-Stark, who will
report to you immediately on his arrival in London,
may be afforded all possible assistance in his approach
to the various departments of Government from which
he can receive most profitable advice and assistance:
these are thought to be the Board of Trade, Inland
Revenue Department and Customs and Excise Department;
but the exact nature of his studies can best be
settled after discussion with your advisers.
is considered desirable that he should take any course
in theoretical statistics the fee may be paid by
Government. The purchase of necessary text-books,
particularly such as would form the nucleus of a
statistical library on his return, could be
authorized through the Crown Agents for the Colonies
at your discretion; but in anticipation of your
approval of the scheme Mr. Kelvin-Stark is being
authorized to spend up to £10 on books in connection
with the preliminary reading he proposes to undertake
in Canada.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your most humble, obedient servant,
Governor.
