and it is in such a case that I most respectfully ask consideration as, in the event of the Civil Police of the Provinces becoming amalgamated with the F.C. I trust it may be found that I am competent to be entrusted not only with the general duties as Deputy but the special direction of the civil Police. Sir, I trust you will not consider me presuming too far in addressing you thus, and with the utmost respect beg to remain, Your most obedt. servt., James G. Fox.
