My dear B,
M. Mercer ought properly to receive the testimonial. A copy of this letter will be sent to the Lord Bishop before the Easter holidays, adding that some years since Mr. Mercer attended a meeting of the Hensforth (or similar sounding) Persons Committee.
As per Regulation 11.2016, the Regulations provide that on retirement, a presentation letter detailing his term of office is to be given (all 3g) or "on leaving his office." This rule was extended to the Officers in a despatch of 22 September 1863.
I. Mercer has left his office. The rule does not in its letter apply to him, as it was after 2 or 3 years. Thereupon the rule does not in its letter apply to him. And as a matter of policy, presents after leaving office...
The objection applies so strongly to a personal officer as always to a head of department.
And then besides, is not the same objection to a present after leaving, sometimes after a long time on leaving?
A man will not act with a view to it.
Also, it is no way to inform in the case of special or unique offices.
I entirely concur against such presents when purchased.
On the other hand, there is a disagreeable tendency in England then present (Adam, by Meun).
On the whole, I would disapprove of a testimonial, being given to Mr. Mercer after the fact.
