KITCHENER APOLOGISES TO GENERAL WATSON FOR TAKING HIS POST
KITCHENER
(Horatio Herbert, 1st Earl, 1850-1916, Commander in Chief in South Africa, Field Marshal Earl Kitchener of Khartoum)]
Fine Autograph Letter Signed “H.H. Kitchener” to “My dear WATSON”
(Sir Charles Moore, 1844-1916, Army Officer, Engineer and Administrator) saying that he has “probably heard that I am to replace you at Souakin. I am very sorry you should leave & would never have accepted the billet had my not doing so been of the least service to you. The way it came about was on my arrival at Suez old West came on board with a telegram stating H.M. Govt wanted to know if I would accept Souakin & if so to wire to Wolff. I asked about you but could find out nothing and I felt sure you had resigned so I wired yes and wet to Alexandria & saw Wolff, he then told me and I said that changed the matter but he said if I now refused there was another waiting for the post. I went up to Cairo and saw Gen Stephenson and he told me the same & that I could do you no good and would do myself much harm by refusing. He also said what I hope was the case that he was sure you would see it in the same light. I came home & saw DAG on the subject & Sir R. Thomson and found out an R.A. officer had accepted if I refused the billet and would be appted at once. I hope you think I have done right and I know you will never doubt how much rather I would like it if you could remain supposing you wish to do so...”, 4 sides 8vo., Junior United Service Club, London, 18th August
