sir,

With reference to your despatch No.13

of 11th. January, in which you transmit a letter

from the War office relative to Lieut.L.R.E.W.

Taylor's application for civil or military

employment in Nigeria, I have the honour to

submit the following points regarding Lieut.

Taylor.

Lieut. Taylor will be able to retire

from the Army on pension in May 1915 ( when he

will be 33 years of age ). He would then accept

any suitable employment you might offer him in

the Colonial Service, but he does not wish to

sacrifice his Army service by accepting a civil

appointment now: such acceptance now would mean

the resignation of his commission.

Lieut. Taylor accordingly requests that

his application, forwarded in my separate despatch

of 21 January, may be considered as one for civil

employment in any Crown Colonytan May 1915.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient humble servant,

mag

Governor,&c.

The Right Honourable

Lewis Vernon Harcourt.M.P.

&c. ac. &c.
