I think it right to let you know that up to the present time I have not received an acknowledgment of this letter. I cannot help thinking that mine of the 6th instant, which had cost much time and labour without an acknowledgment.
Yours very truly,
I do not believe it is the way of the Office to have a letter transmitting a work miscarried,
I. W. Carrington.
Assistant under Secretary, Colonial Office.
