Sir
I have the honor to inform you
that after fair trial I do not consi-
der Mr Genge fitted for the post
of Tailor Instructor here_ I have
nothing to say against his conduct
or willingness, he has tried his best
but is not suited for the position,
not having the necessary force
of character to deal with and control
fifty to sixty prisoners nor the
business tack or knowledge, necessary
to manage such an importanr
branch of the Establishment.
The work has not been going on
satisfactorily since Mr. Davies lrft.
I have acertained [sic.] that Mr. Davis 9sic.]
is
