My Lord,

I have the honour to address Your Lordship on the

subject of the appointment of a successor to lir. H. R. Phelips, who is now retiring from the post of Colonial Auditor, aml to express

the hope that Mr. T. Dallin, at present Assistant Auditor, may be

favourably considered by the Director of Colonial Audit for this

post.

2.

Your Lordship is aware of Mr. Dallin's excellent

record in Nigeria and in this Colony and I would add my personal

opinion that his promotion here would be most desirable on account

of his intimate knowledge of the working of all Government

departments and more particularly by reason of his grasp of the

financial problems of exchange and currency which, being peculiar

to this Colony, would be less easily understood by a newcomer

from elsewhere. I have a high opinion of Mr. Dallin's attainments,

and desire to place on record my appreciation of his services to

this Colony.

THE RIGHT HONOURABLE

LORD PASSFIELD,

I have the honour to be,

My Lord,

Your Lordship's most obedient,

humble servant,

Governor. &c.
