Dear Sir John,
I am very sorry
to hear
of your recent bereavement and under ordinary circumstances should not for a moment think
of
troubling your Excellency at such time but Mr Anstey's affair
is of so urgent and pressing nature that I cannot refrain
from calling upon your Excellency to insist upon Mr Anstey giving an immediate reply to your
Excellency's letter of the 23rd instant.
