'" n case there sliould be any difficuXty about making
the services ol an officer of the X J olitical Departiaent avail-*
able for an extra cadre appointment, I would mention that I
hc'Ve already suggested that an officer not on the cadre of
the i olitleal department should be appointed to relieve
Captain iradshaw, my Secretary, when the latter goes on leave
in the autumn*
• It is desirable that a decision should be come to
in this matter as soon as possible# It is no use keeping on,

obviously dissatisfied and is making but little attempt to
improve the finances of the state, and the longer the
situation lasts the worse will it become. I would therefore
solicit orders by telegram.
