No. 110

I have the honor to inform you that consequent upon the resignation
of Mr J.D. Pemberton, Surveyor General, and the appointment of Mr
B.W. Pearse as his acting successor, I have selected Mr J.T. Tidwell [Pidwell]
to perform the duties of Assistant Surveyor in the room of Mr
Pearse.

Mr Tidwell is an active intelligent Colonist, fully competent to
perform the duties assigned to him.

He has hitherto given much of his time gratuitously to the public
service and is irreproachable in private character.

I have to solicit your approval of this temporary arrangement.
