Colony from the 27th April to the 18th only, during which time he was doubtless put to extra expence and trouble, for which he has received no recompence. The Major General the time we have served has, during together, given me every satisfaction. He has a very large family here, and is necessitated by impaired health to resign his office, and to return to Europe after an absence of upwards of a quarter of a century. If, therefore, your Lordship's power to grant it be in meet the wishes of the Major General on this occasion, you will be conferring a benefit on a deserving officer, who from most circumstances much requires the assistance of Her Majesty's Government. From the state of the Major General's health I understand it is considered advisable that he should return to Europe by the overland route, which with his family he will be unable to do at an expence much short of £1000

I have the honor to be, With the highest respect

Your Lordship's,

Most Obedient

Humble Servant,
