Dear Sir,
As I have heard nothing further about the Statutory Leave to which I am entitled I would
respectfully ask your sincere indulgence in my case.
The Statutory Leave or Pay in lieu thereof for which I applied was Leave earned and not claimed because I put in one month of 1923 – 1924, which according to regulations is sufficient basis to be given Leave. You need only refer to records available there to show that others received this leave and I under-stand none are getting it. Take the case of Mr. W. P. Robertson. Now I am just as much entitled according
to regulations to Leave as his case and although his was so arranged to get his leave before resigning I requested the same thing and so far have received no encouragement.
If you will confer with Mr. Talbot you will find that although several in the Air Board were
reclassified to their advantage I took over a position where I should really have been reclassified but carried on at my old rate. Then again I was replaced by a man who was never overseas (this with all due respect to this man whom I don’t believe was fit) and last of all I lose out on the Leave.
I would again ask that you give this your sincere consideration and then let me know what you can do.
Thanking you in anticipation of a favorable reply, I am Sir,
Yours respectfully
Hartley S. Ivey

Dear Sir,
I have the honor to apply for a position with the Royal Cdn Air Force.
Since leaving the Air Board last May I have been with the Sterling Bank as Asst. Mgr. of the Credit
Dept., Relay, Mgr. of their Bond Dept., opened a new Branch as Manager and am now Manager of their
Branch here. I am thoroughly disgusted with the constant moving in this Institution and would very much appreciate your assistance in securing a position for me.
You are in a position to know my ability having been with the Air Board for three years and I sincerely hope you can do something for me.
Yours faithfully

Medical report on the case of Ft.Lt. H. Semuel (Sampson) Ivey.
The patient was admitted to this Hospital on May 21st, 1937 with a “stroke”.
The left side of the face, left arm and left leg were paralysed. The patient could speak and was mentally clear.
Examination showed: —
1. Enlargement of the heart.
2. High blood pressure. 150 cystolic and 120 diastolic. He has incontinence of urine and faeces.
The urine contains much albumin. The arteries are thickened. The blood urea is 100 mgs. Per
100 cc with non-protein nitrogen 71 mgs, per 100 cc. The blood protein is low, 5%.
Progress
The left side of the face has improved. The left leg shows slight improvement. The left arm is completely paralysed.
Diagnosis
Hypertensive heart disease with nephrosclerosis and hemiplegia, the latter being probably due to a
cerebral thrombosis in the internal capsule of the right side.
Prognosis
The outlook is very grave. In my opinion he is not fit to be moved for present at least. The possibilities are (1) a further stroke which would rapidly prove fatal, (2) gradual failure of the
kidneys with death in several months (3) just a possibility of recovery with residual paralysis.
