Mr. Mitchell's behaviour.
Concerning Mr. Mitchell's deportment, it is frequently such as to afford offense, but I am inclined to think that it may have been on this occasion exaggerated, by Mr. Keenan's naturally partial and excited mind. Indeed, Mr. Keenan himself seems to admit (see his letter of 1st July) that the insult was observable in Mr. Mitchell's countenance, rather than conveyed in the character of his language.
I have only to repeat my earnest hope that some arrangement may be made with the United States Government, by which its affairs in this Colony may be entrusted to an Officer more discretion and judgment than Mr. Consul Keenan exhibits.
I have the honour to be, Sir, Your most Obedient, Humble Servant, J. W. Kenson
