Description (What the record is about)

2776. Spry to McLean. Halifax. The leave of absence signified in the Commander-in-Chief's letter of 25 December is not the leave solicited of His Excellency. The request was for six months in the fall of the year, after the campaign was over and meaning to return in the spring. Is concerned the application should have been misconstrued.

Requests him to communicate the purport of his letter to His Excellency and obtain six months leave when the service will admit.
