my dear Maude,

I have received your letter of the 23rd

January with reference to Commander Tasil Taylor.

I have looked fully into his case and con-

sulted with the senior officials of the Cyprus and Hong Kong Departments, and 1 regret to say that I fear there is very little, if any, chance of his getting

the post of Commissioner at Limasol, as his past ex- perience is hardly of the kind required and it is more than probable that the vacancy will be filled

by local promotion.

I am sorry that i cannot give you a more

favourable reply.

Yours sincerely,

Lionel Earche
