                                               71

  to give me any information There is now doubt about

  my application going through whatever occurs at your

  end.

  I got the order definately for the New Pekoe Store

  which has been held up so long on the 9th The amount

  of Contract will be about 1900 L instead of 670 as

  the first order was + I hope to have this work in hand

  very Shortly.

     I have had a Hawksworth in today who

  has got 14 days leave for the purpose of obtaining

  employment & understands if he can get this will be

  able to have his discharge. Have told Herbert to

  tell him an offer similar to one sent to you as a

  labourer, if he accepts this I shall be willing to

  give him a start.

        I have had to write O. Greenwood pointing

  out that he was not employed here in 1914 + seeing

  that the wages are 72/8 per 47 hrs. we could not

  offer him employment as a smith or skilled man at

  that rate, he wrote back saying he was sorry there

  were so many difficulties in the way + did not see

  any way only waiting untill general demobilisation

  I intend to write him making an offer similar to

  Hawksworth which if he care to accept will

  probably secure his release.

             You must be sure to write us as soon

  as you here anything about your release, will

  write a longer letter when I feel fit as I only

  tried to write you seeing it was such a long

  time since my last letter.
