I have the honour to transmit for your

Colony.

In connection with this case I would
refer you to Lord Granville's Despatch No. 26 of the 5th April, 1886 and previous correspondence, and beg to suggest
that directions may be given that all expenses incurred by
this Government on account of the lunatic in question may be
defrayed out of the Consular Vote.
I have the honour to be,
THE RIGHT HONOURABLE
JOSPEH CHAMBERLAIN, M.P.,
Sir,
Your most obedient
Humble servant,
HENRY A. BLAKE
Governor, &c.
