I have the honour to request your per-

-mission to take short leave

6 weeks or 2 months

in

So f ar as I am aware, no rule of any

sort has been laid down as to Governors or

others attending the Coronation Durbar in

India.

As Sir F.Lugard will be in his Colony for

the Coronation proper, I think it quite

right that he should have the solace of at-

tending the function in India.

Proceed as Mr. Robinson proposes.

November and December next and to attend the Coronation of

His Majesty in India. If you sanction my request I should be

very grateful if you would do what may be possible to secure

for myself and Lady Lugard and two Staff, such facilities

for viewing the ceremony as the Government of India may be

able to afford.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient,

humble servant,
