I ask also, as a special favour, that my retirement be gazetted as early as possible as I have the offer of civilian which must be taken up shortly and I would point out that owing to the exigencies of the service I was prevented from taking up particularly remunerative civilian employment in Russia when I retired in 1919, and was ordered to proceed on “Special Duty”
Accepted
