Generally, in respect of the tone of your correspondence which has not invariably preserved that courtesy required in all official communications, but especially in addressing an high status Officer, I particularly notice the several points which I am now to bring to your notice.

With regard to the dinner on Her Majesty's birthday which formed the subject of telegraphic communication between the Governor and the Colonial Office, it is assumed although not directly stated that at the time the invitations were issued for a dinner at your house, you were aware of the Governor's intention to give an official dinner on the same day. This circumstance modifies in some degree the aspect of the case as at first represented to His Royal Highness, but although the facts as set forth in your communications bear a somewhat different construction from the telegraphic communication which has been duly brought to the notice of the Government, His Royal Highness sees no reason to alter his first opinion (on which the orders telegraphed to you) that it was your duty, if invitations had been issued from Government House, to have postponed your party.
