I shall be glad to learn that I have your approval of the measures which I have adopted in connection with this matter. I am of opinion that they will serve to counteract the efforts made by the French Postal Authorities to establish a connection in a Port where British interests and trade so largely preponderate.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your most obedient
Humble servant,
My Gascoigne
Major-General,
Administering the Government.
