Plowden Buildings, Conplete 14th June 1859

PRINTED FOR PARLIAMENT

I have the honor to acknowledge your Lordship's letter of the 13th instant, informing me, in reply to a portion of my letter to your Lordship, of the 3rd, and, again, of the 16th April, last, that Sir E.B. Lytton had "conformed my suspension, and that that implied disapproval, of course, implied confirmation, of my removal from Her Majesty's Service.

By a partial quotation from my letter, your Lordship has entirely changed the sense of the passage you quote and I must therefore repeat that it was only "that I had heard through the newspapers that even my suspension had received the sanction of the Secretary of State." But that, although the fact of that sanction had been assumed by your Lordship, some doubt had been thrown on it by your letter of the 13th April.

[To:] The Under Secretary of State for the Colonies

Downing Street
