of his
communication with the vertel.
I have
now answered
Your Ley's
favour throughout, and I am happy to think that if the "force" has not been heated on this occasion with that kindliness which was to be expected from the friendly relations existing
between the two nations which we have the honour to represent, it has been due solely to the irregular manner in which the officials of that branch have carried out the sanitary regulations, without His Excy's
intervention therein.
I have the honour to be
Your Lany's
very obedient Servant,
