Under these circumstances
I feel sure that Your Excellency will at once recognize my inability to order the extradition of the deserters. It will, however, be my duty to carry out that provision of the Treaty referring to the dismissal from the service of any deserters found employed, and this I will gladly do on hearing that it is Your Excellency's desire, and on ascertaining the necessary particulars as to the identity of any such deserters amongst the employés of the Government.
(Signed) Richard Graves MacDonnell,
Governor and Commander in Chief.
