rec'd 7 FEB 1

We have the honour to recall to your remembrance the fact that, on 29th October last, we wrote to you, giving Cover A a despatch and enclosures, in triplicate, addressed to the Right Honourable the Earl of Kimberley, Her Majesty's Principal Secretary of State for the Colonies, which we requested that His Excellency the Governor would be good enough to transmit.

Notwithstanding the lapse of more than two months, we have not yet received any acknowledgment of this communication and, while we have reason to feel aggrieved thereat, we are concerned at the possibility of there being any unnecessary delay in the settlement of important questions, which we feel it to be our duty to submit for the decision of the Secretary of State.

We shall therefore feel obliged by your informing us, whether representation has been made.

The Honourable Frederick Stewart L.L.D.

Acting Colonial Secretary
