Mr Cardwell's Dispatch to Mr Wilson, and I enclose that gentleman's minute on the subject.

I have the honour to be,
Your Lordships'
Obedient Servant,
MacDonnell

MW. Wilson was disingenuous rather than...

The Dispatch N. 208 was received 9th February and despatched for note and return by Auditor and Surveyor General; by the former it was noted and returned on the 12th February.

I can find no trace of its being noted by Surveyor General, and so imagine it to have been overlooked by Mr Alexander at the time, for the Office was then busy with the outgoing mail of 18th February, and immediately after the despatch of that Mail, the Colonial Office Despatches for 186... were put in the binder's hands.

This may account for the omission, which however was not of long duration, for it was discovered shortly after, and

Corrected and formatted according to the given rules: 1. Transformed into standard HTML using `

` for paragraphs. 2. Corrected spelling errors (e.g., "hever" to "honour", "mich" to "much", "despalatres" to "Despatches", "obeduis" to "Obedient", "ouvant" to "Servant", "decstetted" to "despatched", "reled" to "noted", "fitende" to "being", "nvas" to "was", "immediality" to "immediately"). 3. Fixed spacing issues and hyphenation or line-break artifacts. 4. Rejoined broken sentences. 5. Restored paragraph breaks where necessary. 6. Indicated missing words with `...` (e.g., after "rather than"). 7. Did not rephrase or rewrite the original text. 8. Ensured file references are formatted correctly (though none were present in this snippet). 9. Preserved "Page XX" information if it were present, though it was not in this snippet.
