Should this proposal be approved I am to request
that the Crown Agents may be instructed to secure a passage
for Mr Hanson by the Messageries Maritimes Co's steamer
leaving Marseilles on the 3rd proximo, and as baggage going
by this boat must be shipped in London on the 18th instant,
I am also to request that the necessary instructions may be
issued at as early a date as possible.
5. I am to add that Mr Nicolle has been instructed by
telegraph to engage temporary clerical assistance pending
the arrival of a successor to Mr Hardcastle,
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your obedient servant
Hillips
