Eye over each, each will be as effective as any one would be without the other, and, there is saved one Sub Asst Commissioner. And I hold it is a material saving, until a proper person can be found.

I entirely agree with General Howard that none at all is better than a corrupt, or even an incompetent one. I could say much more in support of this Idea - but I give the general credit of being able to surmise the rest. And respectfully, ask that the General instruct me, or convey to me either his acquescense or a reful on the matter of two offices. An aparent remedy may be - sometimes, a real hardship.

I have the honour to be
Adjutant, Your Most
