Some time since I begged for your favour in

com.ending an application to the Government, in which I asked that

my name might be submitted to the Colonial Office for any vacancies for promotion which might arise in any Colony.

You were kind enough to accede to my request

in this matter; might I however in view of the fact that I have

heard nothing further of it beg that my name might again be brought to their notice for this purpose.

In my last aplication I asked for considera-

-tion for a moderately healthy Colony. I desire however to with-

-draw the reservation as to climate and shall be glad to accept

any post that the Secretary of State may be pleased to offer.

I have etc..

The Hon. Mr. Tha. Chatham, C.M.C.,

Director of Public Works.
