9 NOV. 08

Gen Dept

This officer has several alternatives.

There are several difficult points involved and I do not think that the general department should commit itself to any of them.

If he can't go back, he is not entitled to pension unless he is invalided.

Statement of service and leave taken.

2. In neither case are we working out a hypothetical pension for Wise.
