20th January, 1919.

Dear Mr. Grindle,

Referring to your letter of the 30th December which was forward- ed to me by Sir Richard Glazebrook, I have been endeavouring to find

This is an

a man for the vacant post of Assistant Government Analyst at Hongkong. So far only one applicant has come forward. Australian, Mr. L.F. N. Stutterd, who has been working at Gretna for

the last two years. [ He is a B.Sc. of the University of Tasmania

and an Associate of the Institute of Chemistry, but not in Branch E (Foos & Drugs). As he is leaving London to-morrow and this country at the beginning of next month I have asked him to call to see you to-morrow (Tuesday) morning. He is evidently a well-trained chemist although he has not so far specialized in food and drugs analysis. I understand that he is known personally to Sir John McCall, Agent

General for Tasmania.

E. A. Grindle, Esq., C.M.G.

Yours very truly,

Jan J. Dottie.
