Mr Dukes, Clerk of Works and Draftsman, has been suffering from serious indisposition.

The Certificate of the Medical Attendant shows that Mr Dukes is in a very precarious condition, and I fear that his return to the Colony is exceedingly doubtful. Should it be finally decided that he cannot return, I trust that his appointment will be filled up with the least possible delay, as there is no one in the Colony who can be even temporarily employed to perform the duties which he was called upon to perform.

I find that Mr. Dukes was promoted to this Colony from Mauritius. During his stay here, he has proved himself a most intelligent and valuable Officer, and if the contingency arises, it will be very difficult to replace him.

I have the honour to be,

My Lord,

Your Lordships' most obedient,

humble Servant,

S. G. Fremantle, Governor.

I enclose the usual Form.
