important area in which it stands.
I may say that Ir. Sargent is
not only throwing up a valuable post as Sixth Form Physics master
at a leading Fublic School; he has also just refused a House
mastership at Wellington, in order to be free to go to Hong Kong.
I mention these points because I believe that an appeal is now before
the Colonial Office for relief from the Government debt on the
buildings. Obviously the future of the School will be vitally
affected by the decision taken by the Government over here, with
regard to this appeal. I do not know when that decision will
finally be made, but in case the matter is coming up for settlement
this week, I felt I ought to let you know about Mr. Sargent's
appointment, which was only made finaly yesterday.

Canon Davies,
who was, I believe, responsible for the forwarding of the appeal to
the Colonial Office, as Hon. Secretary of the Advisory Council of
Christian Education Overseas, is away from London till next Monday.
I understand that Mr. Mayhew has given your name to someone at the
Advisory Council as being kindly willing to keep them in touch with
the matter. I thought, therefore, that in case the matter was
urgent, I should let you know at once how the position stands with
regard to the Headmastership of the School. If no decision is to
be taken until after Monday, doubtless Canon Davies (to whom I am
sending a copy of this letter) will write himself, on his return to
the office.
Yours very truly,
(Rev.) Ruy Howard-
