I have to convey to you my confirmation of the leave of absence for
three months which you have granted to
Mr. James Judson Young Clerk in
the Colonial Secretary's Office from the
11th August next as reported in
your Despatch
No. 61 No. 61 of the
10 May last.
In reporting leave of absence to public Officers I request that you
will keep distinct the two cases of vacation leave and leave of absence
as the former does not count against the Officer in calculating the
amount of leave to which he is entitled in the proportion of 1/6th
absence to his total resident service. Vacation leave does not require
the Secretary of State's sanction and need only be reported for
information.
