1/3/1902: From SRC: Dr Monckton left today
3/3/1902: To Governor, Natal from DA: Dr Monckton, who was employed by ?, struck work because I refused to let him go till relieved, & has left without leave for Natal; trusts you will not employ him;
4/3/1902: Reply: Have informed him cannot employ him until he has been properly discharged.
Nov 1901: Long correspondence relating to Monckton's application for a permit to Johannesburg in order to be interviewed for a job as MO to a mining group in the Transvaal. Strong objections from CSRC:
13/11/1901: CSRC to Secretary for Permits: I have already written to my Superintendent at Vredefort Rd instructing him to inform Dr Monckton that he will not be allowed to proceed to Johannesburg on leave as he has only done a few days' work. Has also written to found out who the authorities are who have offered Monckton employment without consulting me. It is quite impossible to control camps if other officials are trying to take mine away without either my knowledge or sanction. |
