THE RIGHT HONOURABLE
JOSEPH CHAMBERLAIN, M.P.,
I have the honour to enclose copy of a letter received this day from Sir John Carrington, C.M.G., whom I gave three months' vacation leave from 26th. June for the purpose of enabling him to work in the better climate of Japan at the Consolidation of the Statute Laws of the Colony, an important work of which, as you will observe, about one-third has been completed.
It has been apparent for some time that Sir John Carrington's health was in an unsatisfactory state and I was aware that his retirement was imminent. I recommend that the second alternative proposed by Sir John Carrington be adopted and that leave on half pay be granted to him from the expiration of his present leave to 29th. May.
I shall be glad, should you approve, if a telegram be sent, as Sir John Carrington may wish to complete his work in Japan.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your most obedient
Humble servant,
Henry Arthur Blake

Mim from the end of this full fay. His present request seems short of indefendent leave. Nothing (It should be remembered that the work will not be complete for fusion next May). A.F. says half the half-pay leave has been deducted already.
Sir J. Carrington is hypochondriacal with a mania for codifying laws. I agree with M: Fiddian's conclusions that the C.f. is not entitled to either of the alternative indulgences for which he asks - but it might be awkward to refuse this codification of the law, which appears to have been carried out by Sir John Carrington's own hands.
Entrusted to Murray that a telegraphic reply is asked.
