I do not find from your Communication that the opinion so expressed by me has incurred the disapprobation of the Secretary of State.

On the contrary, conforming myself to what I believe to be his wish, I do once more declare my regret for the indiscretion committed by me of the private table of the mess of which I am a member or anywhere else, in Commenting on what may have been passed at an official dinner party at Government House or what I may have gathered there from the unguarded Communications of His Excellency.
