Before I left I placed him in touch with all pending Matters, Confidential files, & gave him "pointers" that he might need on special or general affairs. I also offered to jot down some notes embodying my experience of the Capabilities & peculiarities of all the European Inspectors & Leggats, but he did not desire it. Finally I advised him, in case of doubt to Consult me by telephone without hesitation, as I have often done myself. In small matters of routine & traditions, he could consult the Chief Inspector when in doubt.
In May, I never gave him any such "guiding instructions" on either occasion when I took over charge from him, and indeed with every man's duties clearly defined in the Regulations, & important precedents carefully noted & indexed in a special book, it is not necessary to carry such guiding instructions further. Captain Lyons himself suggests that I left hints to guide him, but he would be the last man to do so. In the private letters I have received from him, he has never given any hint of such guidance. As to his being left short-handed, that is a matter on which I have a few words to say.
