Best energies have been employed in endeavouring to fulfil the onerous duties of my responsible office, and I hope, the fact
That,
02-1
my appointment as Acting Attorney General, and subsequently as Acting Chief Justice, they were reduced is sufficient indication of my having proved useful and beneficial to the Government, these and all points connected with the duties have been performed are sufficiently known to Sir John Davis, who, together with His Excellency Mr Bonham will, I feel assured, do me the justice to bring them to your Lordship's favourable notice.
May I entertain the hope that your Lordship will be pleased to consider my case in providing for any judicial or executive office of the Law in this or any of the other Colonies?
I have the honour to be Your Lordship's Most obedient humble Servant

Extract
Sir,
1228 May 410. 113 29 Feby 1400.
I have read despatch No. 15 of the 24 April transmitting Application from Mr. C. M. Campbell for an appointment in the Civil Service, and have to direct you to inform Mr. Campbell that his claims shall undoubtedly be considered with those of other Candidates, but that I fear that the prior claims upon me are too numerous to enable me to hold out to him much expectation.
