Said

Miss Kelsey called today & she did not wish to return under present conditions. It has been usual in such a case that we shall not insist as long as the general Admiralty restriction on W&Ch travelling remain.

I told her accordingly, and we would act as advised, and cancel Carriage, as to the position of her departure is postponed in deference to her request.

I also said that it would be understood officially that she does not desire to continue her employment under present conditions, and that she is being instructed to cancel her furlough arrangements.

She is at liberty to leave her employment until the relaxation of the present restrictions, when her position will be reviewed and subject to short notice about a fortnight.

Miss Kelsey's present leave expires on the 8th Aug. Whether we should extend her leave up to the permissible limit of accumulative employment (she has all 1 month 20 days of the additional leave mentioned above) is a matter for decision.

Can she continue to get a pay? A copy to C.A. of affairs.

47.

6 months in hand or ask for leave without pay, which I understand from her might, if she could not find well-paid temporary employment, be continuous.

Some modification of letter twice will also be necessary.
