anything which would give me a few Cs. a weet tolge^i
small pension would be very acceptable, and of course, I
would go full out to make a success of any work entrusted
I know these are hard and difficult times, but it has
occurred to me that in view of the present International
situation there might possibly be some sort of employment
going in some department under the foreign Office, and, if
so, that you with your great influence could help me, and
for which T would be most grateful,
1)0 you think if I came home and saw you that you could
put me on to something? I have been thinking about Cyprus,
but openings might not be found on the spot, so perhaps it
would be wiser to come home and try through the Secretary of
State for the Colonies.
T have often thought of writing to Sir Hughe Knatchbull-
Hugesson who is now our Ambassador in Ankara, T believe, but
haven’t done so as T am not sure whether he would consider
it 1. audacious and 2. whether he could give me any work.
°lease do forgive me for troubling you especially as
you must be terribly busy and hard worked these days, but
a word of advice and any kind help would, T can assure you,
be most gratefully accepted.
T hope that you are very fit and well.
to me
With very kind regards
Yours sincerely,
