I never at any time had tangible grounds for supposing that I was to be ejected from the Colonial Service. On the suggestion whether I liked it or not, and at once, a telegram from Singapore of your Lordship's leave to Perak, I sent in an application for such leave of absence (P. 347, hman) as would harmonize with the Ruler of the State to which His Excellency the Governor of Straits had been pleased to refer.
