My Lord,
I have with great regret to lay before Your Lordship the enclosed Correspondence and the following narrative of circumstances which seem seriously to affect my personal position and the efficiency of the Department, which has now been under my control for upward of twenty years, that I am driven to seek Your Lordship's protection in the matter.
To The Right Honorable
The Secretary of State for the Colonies, London.
