Excerpt from Letters and Sketches From Northern Nigeria The accompanying pages give in concise and clear language the impressions gathered in a few short months by an earnest, hard-working, and clever recruit in the Political Staff of Northern Nigeria. My personal acquaintance with him and his work was brief, but of suffi cient duration to predict a brilliant future had he been Spared. His early mastery of languages, his unfailing good humour and camaraderie, and his high mental gifts would have placed him anywhere in the Nigerian Service. It is upon the work of men of this stamp that we are building up a great Dependency in West Africa. It is frequently asked if the sacrifice of young, buoyant lives and careers will ever be justified by the results we may hope to obtain. The reply is given in the history Of India and all the Colonies and Dependencies of our Empire. This young Officer's name can be placed upon the roll of men given up by British mothers.
