I

and Reinhard as Commissioners, I have often done my best to assess my personal knowledge of their aptitude for the discharge of the Duties, and I must say they are the only persons I could recommend. I may mention

I have been requested to furnish security for £1500 each, which, with Bond, will increase the Security. My belief is that both

I are

loyal to the Government.

If His Excellency should sanction the arrangement, I would beg you to obtain for me a Control Passage in


the next outgoing Steamer to Alexandria,

My

Medical Attendant recommends me not to proceed direct further than

the South

of Europe, (except in case of a favourable change in my health), and my leave therefore would commence from the day of my departure, say the 15th instant;

I regret that in this application I must further intrude on your and His Excellency's kindness, by asking to be permitted to draw here the half salary due to me during my absence, for obvious reasons. I have prepared the necessary authority in favor of Mr. L. Wiese, and the engagement of the respectable firm of Mess & Thomson will ensure Government against any loss in the event of my death. Mess & Thomson will demand the amount due for my Passage.
