and explicit report is furnished
for at an
early
date for the year 1880,
date
I will, although reluctantly, dispense with the reports
... for the preceding 2 years

that the report for 1880
must contain a clear
and complete account
of the present condition of the colony with all its principal institutions.

I cannot avoid expressing
my
dissatisfaction at the
breach of the Regulations, & flagrant negligence which has been
shown in not complying
with your instructions to perform this duty
Especially as you were furnished with instructions in this
respect, in such carelessness
reflects discredit upon
your good
And I must
desire that you
will take steps to prevent
its occurrence in future...
