In my opinion seniority should “cateris paribus” guide all promotions; it is the fairest plan & then but guarantee against favoritism by the Head of the Department who virtually determines their promotions. / / In this instance, I am very sorry that I cannot accede to your request; the “vox populi” in the District would not influence me much (knowing how it is generally correct & …[?]) were it not in accordance with the expressed opinion of those who, like you, can only be actuated by a sense of duty & the very laudable desire to see the services of a meritorious officer recognised. / / I was very sorry that we did not meet when I was up your way, all I can say is better luck next time. / / I am, my dear Call, / Very truly Your’s, / Fredk C Standish /NOTES IN MARGIN: Letter from Capt Standish to Mr Call when I was at Back Creek when / ordered for removal

I have purchased your grey horse, also Chomley’s horse from Beckwith £25 & £20 respectively which swallows up the balance of the vote all but £4.10.0. / / The big horse was brought into the Depot yesterday from Dandenong; his hocks are still a trifle enlarged but are nearly well; he is very poor & has a long rough coat & is not looking to advantage. I shall get Ld Normanby to look at him but I am quite certain that he will not take him. I will offer him the GR horse now in Kyneton paddock as you suggest. / / The […] larrikins […] us all yesterday morning with the usual shouts of “Kelly Gang” as you may not have seen last night’s “Herald”. I send you the article wh created the commotion. / / I presume you will not be sorry to lose the ornamental Queensland Sub-Inspector & I am sure that had you the occasion to utilize him & his troopers … could smother you in red tape & throw every obstacle in your way. I sincerely hope I shall never see him again. / / Everything is quiet at the Dept; Const Eyton was brought up before me for being late at stables but I only reprimanded him. It appears that he is frequently a few minutes late. I am about to send him to fill up a vacancy at Talbot. One of the recent recruits will be sent up to you on Tuesday & the other as soon as possible. /I called on Mrs Hare this morning & had a chat with her. / / I propose running up to Benalla next week but will consult you by telegraph as to what day will suit you. / / It is very improbable that the Reform Bill will pass & I fancy that if the Governor consents there will be an immediate dissolution & fresh appeal to the constituencies.

I hear ………has considerable influence with the Argus and being a great friend of Nicolson's he will of course do all he can for him. I suppose that Nicolson will at once write a lengthy report & endeavour to traverse some of your statements, but with an impartial board, I don't think you & I have much to fear. George Levey has just been here to have a yarn with me on this matter; he seems to think that Nicolson's friends & the numerous scions of the Smith family will do their utmost to make things disagreeable for you & me. At all events I think there is every reason to believe that the Age will not be our foe & as you know it it is far better to be befriended by the Age & slandered by the Argus than the reverse. / All kind of political rumors are flying about - the latest being that a coalition Ministry is likely to be formed & that the big 0 will again be left out in the cold, at which I shall not grieve much. But you never can tell till the numbers are up. What with a more than ordinary press of business & the outgoing mail I have not been able to slip up to see you but Charley Ryan comes to see me every day to report how you are going on. If you don't come to town on Saturday as I heard it was your intention to do, I'll run up to pay you a visit by the midday train. /The painters-are still in your house but will soon have finished their job. Sadleir who writes to me almost every day says that things are quiet; the only incident is that … of the McAuliffe's has been …. & states he is going to take to the-bush; the McAuliffe in question is one of -the most dangerous of the sympathizers. …. goes up to Benalla for good at-the end of the week when Montfort will return to Melbourne. I have recd. Sadleir's report re the new stations & on various suggestions he makes for the preservation of peace in the NE district but I have returned it to him for financial particulars. and I know it will take a fortnight to finish the work. / / I have been awfully busy all day & I can hardly as yet say when I shall be able to run up & see you again, but I will as soon as I can. I saw Charles H kett yesterday;he was sitting in the verandah looking better and more chirpy than he has been for years. His is a wonderful recovery. / / Very Sincerely Yrs. / / F C Standish /OTHER TEXT: Private letters from Capt Standish whilst I was at Sunbury wounded. /This is part of the digitized version of the Francis Hare Correspondence held in the University of Melbourne Archives.
