My Lord,
Receipt
1. I have the honor to acknowledge Your Lordship's Confidential Communication of the 26th June. I much regret that your Lordship should have felt constrained to remark on the tone of my despatch of the 18th ultimo last.
It was a document meant to explain the reasons of myself and Council for regarding the profound prohibition against the carriage of "Slink pots" by Junks as calculated to injure the trade of the Colony without effecting the object intended.
It was a matter of urgent importance. No distracting element of a personal character had any chance of being mixed up with it, and as the weight of argument in favour of referring it back for Your Lordship's further instructions was very slight, I felt it all the more necessary in the interests of the Queen's service to place it before your Lordship.
To the Right Honourable
The Earl Granville K.G.
