I was in sour office; but I may mention right appreciation of the Excellency of the officer which, when ill health compelled me to vacate my office of Nominee, the foreman of Geyston, of Houstong, and died.

I was informed officially, as will be seen from the letter, by Lord Houghton in 1895, that my retirement would be considered only temporary, and that I should be re-employed when a suitable opportunity arose.

I de trust that before long my health will be re-established, and that on that event I shall be re-employed in the public service.

In the official letter from your office of Jan. 31st 1895 it was stated that "unemployment would not be prolonged" and that "he would be re-employed when he was fit for work".

2. An apology was made for the delay in re-employment, and it was stated that His Lordship hoped that he would be re-employed as soon as he was fit for work.
