service.

I am now addressing you because I feel that,

by not having been given the acting appointment, my

position in the department has been jeopardized. I

therefore desire to exercise the privilege of submitting

for your consideration the question of my acting appoint-

Sir,

Your most obedient, humble servent,

Anescuingsworth for bond CS
