Mr Robinson
 The answer had better accord with the one which has been sent to the Governor. Say that His Grace has caused Mr F's applicationManuscript image to be noted but that disposable vacancies in the Colonial Service are so limited in number that His Grace would not be justified in holding him out much hope of employment.
Draft at once.

You have already drafted an answer wh has been sent, but I expect Bryant has overlooked it—see his minute.
