feelings towards myself, I have, my "Lord, unhappily too many proofs. It is impossible for Your Lordship to conceive the tone and style His Excellency has for a long time adopted in his daily intercourse with me instead of my Department. Humiliating charges, degrading suspicions, and the most mortifying reflections upon my official conduct have been made in his minutes and letters.
The sum and substance of the Governor's official minutes and letters have long since made it clear that His Excellency has determined to make my position utterly insupportable and impossible. The important public interests which I have had to manage for too long a time under His Excellency's private rebukes and public reprimands have imposed upon me a heavy burden, but now that this most public form of reprimand has been made, I have no choice between indignant remonstrance and resignation.

I beg most respectfully to seek Your Lordship's protection, begging Your Lordship will be pleased to direct Mr. Ford's Report to be cancelled and expunged from the Government Gazette as an improper document, and that Your Lordship will be pleased to call on the Governor to extend to me for the short number of months I may yet have to remain in the Colony some slight degree of consideration and courtesy, if not his support.
I have the honour to be,
My Lord,
Your Lordship's most obedient humble servant,
