25th Novr 1869 Sir,

I have the honor to request that I may be allowed an extension of leave for a period of six months from the 1st March 1870.

I joined the Civil Service of British Columbia in March 1863, & camehome home in March 1869, on twelve months leave.

I am very anxious to proceed to Canada, where I have some relatives whom I have not seen for several years, & some private business that requires my presence.

Under these Circumstances I trust there will be no objection to granting my request.

I have the honor to be Sir Your obedt Servant John White Sir F. Sandford Colonial Office Downing St.
Sir F. Sandford 6 years service 1 years leave taken. Asks for 6 months on private affairs.

Not a very strong case apparently.

WR 26/11/69
I sd refuse this. FRS 26/11 G 30/11
