My dear Sir,
I have named six months in your official leave. I do not think it
desirable to say more in the absence of any knowledge that you desire
it, and until I have heard from yourself what is the state of things you
leave behind you. It will be open to you to raise the question of a
short extension, if you wish it, and there be no sufficient objection.
(sd) E. Cardwell
