The Colonial Secretary,

Present

Bir,

In reply to your letter of the 14th. Maroh Io.

2005/1915, I have the honour to inform you that I am oerrectly

reported in the passage quoted by you.

I beg to point out, however, that my letter was

supplementary to a conversation I had with Mr. Pollook in which I expressed the view that some well considered concessions might well be made by the Government but I did not consider the present an opportune time to raise the question. My letter should be read entirely with reference

to such conversation which did not refer in any way to the

details of the petition or proposals which I had not considered and which it was impossible for me to study in the time then

at my disposal.

I am emphatically of opinion that at this stage of

Great War in whick the Nation is engaged, it is out of

place to bring forward a question of the nature of the petition.

I am, Bir,

Yome obedient servant,

Petition abolosed as desired,

(sd.)
