no objection to offer at present to his request,
I have every reason to be satisfied with the manner in which Mr. Poller performs the duties of the Office.
Nevertheless, should any change take place, it may be necessary for me to request Your Lordship to call upon Mr Tharp to return to his post or to vacate his appointment.
I have the honor to be, My Lord, Your Lordship's obedient humble servant,
W. R. Kennedy Governor.
