On account of the improbability of his restoration to health, some such indulgence be granted,

I have allowed him a gratuity of $... for the purpose of proceeding to Japan.

The accompanying Papers will enable Your Grace fully to understand my special reasons for departing from the usual practice in this instance.

The propriety of Inspector Cronin's conduct arises from his having stood aloof from those corrupt practices which disgraced many of the Police, and which have enabled several to retire with considerable sums improperly acquired. Your Grace will approve this gratuity. It has, however, been allowed on the understanding that if not approved by Your Grace, it is to be refunded.

I have the honor to be, My Lord Duke, Your Grace's most dutiful and humble obedient servant,

[...] Rankin, Governor.
