"The Colonial Secretary
Sir,
I have the honor to request that you will do me the favor to transmit the accompanying Correspondence which has passed between Her Majesty's Principal Secretary of State for the Colonies and myself since I last addressed you, before His Excellency Sir John Bowring. I can hardly expect at His Excellency's hands a reply to the letters referred to by Captain Cowper. I can only hope that His Excellency will hold himself bound to lay the four Official letters in question, together with Copies of his replies thereto, before the Secretary of State,
an essential part of the Case already submitted to the judgement of Her Majesty's Government, and to be further submitted, under special reference to those letters by the next dispatch.
As an Annexure,
I have the honor to request that if the two letters referred to in Mr Murrow's letter are not identical with any of the three or four Official letters stated by Captain Cowper, and form a portion of any further Correspondence that may also have passed between His Excellency and the Lieutenant Governor upon this subject, that such further Correspondence in its Complete form, may be transmitted to the Secretary of State by next Mail: together with this letter.
I have the honor to be,
Sir,
Your obedient Servant,
(Signed) W. Hudson
Allow me to remind you that you have omitted to acknowledge for transmission, my letter of 10th Oct. to Secretary of State.
