which I now respectfully submit
to Your Lordship in the hope that Your Lordship will protect me against the unjust aspersions of
His Excellency the Governor and see justice done in the
matter.

as contained in these papers, I am prepared
to submit to the confidential inquiry of the Executive Council further facts and references in proof of the truth of my statements. I have the honour to be
Your Lordship's
most obedient and humble Servant

I write to ask Your Excellency
to allow me to resign my duties
as Private Secretary. The attitude Lady Hennessy assumed towards
me on her return caused me
at the time to offer my resignation and though Your Excellency then declined it, I now tender it once more because I feel it is due to Lady Hennessy's position that
I should not remain at Government House when my presence there
appears to be so disagreeable to her.
