17th December, 1932.

The Honourable

The Director of Public Works.

Sir,

Having received a letter from my brother in India,

requesting my immediate return and attendance to an urgent family affair; therefore I have the honour to apply for 6

months full pay leave of absence commencing on or about

21st January, 1933,

accordingly.

Requisition for passage attached herewith

As I do not expect to spend the applied leave in

whole, but shall return to the Colony as soon as the matter

concerned is straightened up; therefore I have had to leave

my dependants in the Colony, as they have recently returned

from India. Under the circumstances I beg to state for

information and request that as my dependants will continue

to occupy my present quarters during my absence, they be

allowed to draw my usual rent allowance and salary locally

in order to defray their necessary expenses.

In support I beg to request that my devotion to duty

during 28 years faithful services with the Government (and

especially in periods overdue for leaves unless urgently called

off), be taken into favourable consideration and under G.0.169

(2) the unexpended leave on my return together with the balance

of leave now due and resident s ervice in connection there to for

the purpose be placed on reserve for my future use. So far

during my whole service I have had enjoyed 3 long leaves only,

against over 5 due, and returned from last leave on 14.6.26.

I regret for inconvenience, which might be caused

by short notice of my departure and shall be much obliged
