Kennedy to Rogers (Permanent Under-Secretary)
J.U.S. Club Charles St
London
Sepr 18/67
My dear Sir Frederic Rogers
I have received a letter from
Mr Henry Fowler lately a clerk
in the Colonial Sec
ys Office
Van Couver Island, informing me that
Governor Seymour had written to the Secretary of State in His behalf,
& requesting me to say anything I can in His favor.
Mr Fowler is an active and energetic young man of
a noble minded character, fairly educated, and a very accurate
painstaking officer.
He is well fitted to fill a clerk
ship anywhere, with great
credit, & will I feel sure justify anything which can be done for
him. The reduction of the staff in
British Columbia, has left him
without employment.
If You will kindly have my humble testimony recorded in his
favor, you will confer an additional obligation upon
Minutes by CO staff
At once.
Noted. Acke.
