Office of the Foreign Secretary

The writer appears to have taken considerable pains to obtain this information, probably relying on Lord Grey to act in this instance due to the peculiar circumstances. It is suggested that the Governor be instructed to make the necessary enquiry.

18 Augst 1849

I am doubtful about the propriety of interfering in this matter. But considering the peculiar circumstances, perhaps a copy of this letter may be forwarded to him with instructions to inquire & report, and the writer so informed.

The appointment of administrators by the former Governor under very peculiar circumstances is noted. It may be necessary to consider whether any action should be taken in this regard.

The appointment of administrators is a complex issue, and it may be simpler to instruct the Governor to investigate and report on the matter.
