Responsible Govt.

when the Correspondence should be of a confidential nature. In ordinary Colonies where the Colonial Secretary writes under the direction of the Governor, that officer would appear to be the more natural organ of Communication than the Secretary, H.22/0.

As the whole correspondence has been carried on especially with the Admiralty, I think it best to reserve the present paper for your examination.

25 August

To J. Burburan

I would be glad to know whether similar objections are in the Colonies in which the Colonial Secretary does not channel the administering of the Govt.

I am disposed to think that the Rule as laid down is best.

This point is under your Care, and I remember that you had contemplated some personal Consultations on it.

Nv. Ellcom. 1863 were with Sir Kory.

The Circular of the 28 March was written after a great deal of consideration, by me. I did not understand at the time why Private Secretary Correspondence with the Exclusive Naval Officers (when the Governor nor write his own) was to be made.

I think so.
