Dear Mr. Achoy,
Mr. Aching is not in Office, being unwell, and says that he does not care about attending the Supreme Court at all, but more especially for six Civil Cases. You are fully aware what trouble he had before to obtain his fees, and that the time being down there he cannot afford so much Office work to get on with here.
Very truly Yours,
(Signed) James Parker.
The Hon. Ag. Ffroy.
