agree generally with t- Mayhew's notes of the interviews but I wish to withdraw my recommendation of the Nicol on grounds Entirely unconnected with his Educational Sualifications rachievements. I did not that in- Nicol was an a

applicant, but I mentioned after seeing him yesterday that had indistinct recollections of matrimonial difficulties. These have since returned to my memory,

and I have verified them by reference to another person. Briefly, Nicol got himself

verif

much talked about over his relations

with a

widows, caretaker of the Selangor Club on

could not Education Department, and I camer accept any responsibility for sending him as a grass-widower to Hong Kong.
