And ask if in view of all the circumstances he does not consider that Mr. Jameson may be pronounced unfit for further service, explaining that if he is pronounced unfit he will be awarded a gratuity for his past service.

Sir,

It will, I suppose, be impossible to reemploy him in England.

T.C.M. 27/11

I don't quite like this way of getting rid of a non-tropical invalid.

Say Mr. Jameson has been certified as physically unfit (1912).

But perhaps we might stretch a point, especially as so far, I think, in this case, we will probably not altogether condemn Mr. Jarver's version of the case passed between them.

So that he is not entitled to any retiring allowance as he has voluntarily resigned.

I would like to grant him a small gratuity. Mr. Chamberlain will raise no objection.

I refer the correspondence to the Governor, suggesting that he may be granted a gratuity.

3, Rothesay Terrace,
Barras Road, Coventry
Nov 26th, 1904

I have the honour to request that I may be permitted to explain the paragraph in your letter of the 24th inst. relating to my interview with Dr. Manson.

It had been pointed out to me by my own medical advisers that my heart has been reduced to a very enfeebled condition and that a return of fever would probably cause a collapse. With this in view, Dr. Manson strongly advised me to reside in a house on the "ridge" of the Peak on account of its comparative freedom from malaria, and also that I ought to go to Japan during the summer vacations to recruit my strength.

These instructions, I submit, are inadequate to enable me to follow, the rental of houses and other expenses of living in that locality being extremely high.

I have the honour to be, Sir,
Your obedient servant,
R. M. Jambou.

Her Majesty's Under Secretary of State for the Colonies.
