No. 10 12814, CO 60/36, p. 372; received 19 November 16th October 1869 My Lord,

I forward to Your Lordship at the request of Mr Maunsell, Private Secretary to the late Mr Seymour, a letter addressed to me by him praying for some permanent employment in the Civil Service.

I have

I have very little personal acquaintance with Mr Maunsell; I have no reason to doubt his fitness for employment; but I could not recommend his appointment to any Office in this Colony, where the Civil Establishment is already in some departments more extensive than is required, and to reduce it is rendered difficult by lack of opportunity to provideotherwise otherwise for present incumbents.

I have the honor to be, My Lord, Your most obedient humble Servant. A. Musgrave
Sir F. Sandford To Mr Meade—but I see that you will be able to state Mr Maunsell['s] qualifcations &c. CC 21/11
Mr Meade I shall be very happy to do so, if you see any opening. If Colonial Life has not spoilt him, he was a very active, intelligent, assistant in the Finance work of the Exhibition of 1862. FRS 22/11
See also Sir F. Sandford's letters to Mr Maunsell inclosed.

Answer that his name will be placed on the list & his case considered with those of others should any suitable Vacancies occur. I am afraid that is as much as we can say at present.
