Dear Fred Pauline

To say that I am sorry to hear of your leaving your present position in London to return to BC but [illegible] my feeling – I am very very sorry indeed – I know partly of the reasons for the change but of one thing I am certain + that is that you are leaving a hard task for the next man to follow up if he is to continue

[2]

To maintain the high degree of efficiency readily attained in the Agent General Office here in caring for the interests of Western Canada as a whole – and the Dominion. I must thank you form the bottom of my heart for your encouragement + ever ready help in the efforts I have made + am making in London as a financial missionary for BC. I shall try to see for next week but have been unwell lately again. I hope Mrs Pauline is

[3]

Well + all your family including your good + genial self. Perhaps for will be glad to lay down the reins of the office + take an easier time I don’t know but it is an honourable post + honourably + well have for filled it + many times have I heard that said of you for here. With every good + kind wish to you + yours + may God Bless you in your retirement.

I am your sincere old friend W Wallace Grinie

Birmingham Apprentice Becomes Agent-General

Mr Frederick Arthur Pauline, the new Agent-General in London for British Columbia, arrived yesterday.

Mr Pauline was born in Henley-on-Thames in 1861, and on leaving school was apprenticed to the wholesale stationary trade in Birmingham.

In 1883 he went to Manitoba, and the following year moved to Victoria British Columbia where he built up a substantial business in dry goods, from which he retired fourteen years ago.

Some time after his retirement he entered politics, and has had a distinguished career.

The new Agent-General intends to exert his influence in inducing the industrial centres of Great Britain to take more interest in British Columbia than they have done heretofore. He feels confident that British Columbia is going to have a period of prosperity greater than at any time in her history.
