Has not Mr Barnett
had Leave of absence
on these same grounds
not long ago?

Not precisely so - I think
Mr Barnett applied
for leave of absence by
reason of ill health
but only obtained an
exchange to a south
Coast District.I
cannot obtain the
papers but see the
enclosed copy of a letter
on the subject to the
Surveyor General 6 Octr
