Yours sincerely, C. J. Wharry
From the foregoing correspondence it will be seen that I was being misled into transmitting to you - intercalated: aurong other copies of genuine papers - the transcript of a most important document which in fact was at last confessed to be apocryphal. Had I simply forwarded to you the enclosures placed in my hands, without inquiry as to the genuineness of etc., the Government would, not unnaturally, have been deluded into the misconception that a complete set of written instructions had been in force in the Hospital for the conduct of the Staff. As this has now been discovered not to be the case, it is clearly my very painful duty to supplement the transmission of the documents by a frank avowal of what has transpired in connection therewith.
I have &c.,
C. P. Jordan, Esq.,
Acting Colonial Secretary.
