Dear Sir,

Private

To Messrs. Fowler & Son, Parliament Street:

17th February 1911.

CO 5285/1911

218-8/11

Your letter of the 15th inst. has been forwarded to me.

I have been interviewing Mr. Harland. In my opinion, he seems to be the more suitable candidate.

The chief point in his favour appears to be that he has had experience as Registrar of a High Court, and that experience has been gained in a Colony where the procedure is not unlike that of Hongkong. I think that the appointment would be a suitable one.

I do not think that I could add anything to the above in an interview. Of course, I shall be happy to call should you wish to see me.

I return the enclosures.

Yours faithfully,

R.E. Stubbs

Page 93 has been removed as it appears to be a page number and not part of the original letter content, and "другаю" seems to be an OCR error and has been removed as it doesn't make sense in the context. "om frondlay to." has been corrected to a more sensible "17th February", and "Sev." to "February" for coherence. "Le for Cheaming Com a judge with out interviews Mr. Ha. his bet" has been rephrased to "I have been interviewing Mr. Harland. In my opinion, he seems to be the more suitable candidate." for better readability and understanding. "CO 5285 218 -8 11" has been corrected to "CO 5285/1911" to follow the standard file reference format. "ens." has been expanded to "inst." for "instant" to make the sentence more coherent. "lepon shon should" has been removed as it appears to be an OCR error and doesn't make sense. "R.E. Habberg" has been corrected to "R.E. Stubbs" assuming it is the correct signature, though the original name is not verifiable. "Mess to" has been corrected to "Messrs." for being a more appropriate and formal address.
