25th September, 1920, I have the honour to address Your Lordship on behalf of Mr. Adem Gibson, M.R.C.V.S., Colonial Veterinary Surgeon, who is retiring shortly from the ser- vice of this Government on account of ill-health.

On that account and in view of the smallness of his pension Mr. Gibson is anxious to obtain employment suitable to his attainments within the United Kingdom, and I desire to recommend him for Your Lordship's favourable consideration.
