Enclos. 20715
Colonial Secretary's Office
26th April 1893.
I am directed to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 20th instant and to point out that it affords no reply to my letter of the 11th instant, calling on you to shew cause why you should not be held pecuniarily responsible for the amount of Government money misappropriated in the Treasury during your tenure of office.
You did not get your cash-book balanced which, if balanced, would have revealed defalcations committed prior to 7. H. May's day.
Your letter under acknowledgement.
Acting Treasurer.
