My Dear Sir,

In reply to your note of this date, I have briefly to state that I have not given publicity to the statement referred to. The facts of the case are simply these: Mr. Moncrieff Chapman, Acting Postmaster, called on me yesterday and asked me whether the Attorney General had stated in my hearing that Mr. Woodgate was drunk at the last public dinner at Government House. I told him the Attorney General had made such a statement.
