pressing for his recognition
as
the
Consul for Netherlands in that
Colony, and I am to request that in laying this application before the Earl of Carnarvon you will move him to inform and Stanley what reply should be
returned to Baron Bentink's note.
I am, Sir,
Your most obedient humble servant,
Si Moyens. Del 20.66
The Concerns
of late
Mr Vandort had
left the Colony
& was not likely
& return-
the retiring
Minister
believes that
Mr. Van Dordt
as
Acting
Consul, there
can be no
2
objection to his Acting in the same capacity.
State in reply
that under
circumstances the State sees
no objection, that he will
instruct the Governor to recognise
Mr Van Dordt's
in that capacity, provisionally
until the arrival.
