Hon. Colonial Secretary,

I attach letter from Mr. Darby asking for

a reconsideration of his application. I consider him the

superior officer and have always put him in charge during Mr.

Rees's absence. I have had every reason to be satisfied with Mr.

Darby's performance of the duties entrusted to him.

I should much regret losing the services

of such an officer as Mr. Darby nor would it be to the advantage

of the Government to let him go when the amount involved is

only £60. It would cost more than that to bring out a man from

home to replace him.

27th. April, 1910.
