If His Excellency the Governor would frame and specify any charge or charges against me, I would consider that I had at last the opportunity which I feel is due to me of vindicating my character and my position in the Service, called into question by Mr. Johnson's letters.

In reply to the second part of your letter which invites me to make such observations as I may think fit on the documents sent in by Mr. Johnson for transmission to the Secretary of State, I beg to be permitted to delay making the observations called for until I know whether the above appeal to the Executive Council will be entertained and an inquiry held as, in that case, the observations I should make had better be laid before the Right Honourable the Secretary of State as part of the proceedings in the whole case.

I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your most obedient Servant,
E. Tittel.

To the Hon. Dr. S. T. Tonnock
Acting Colonial Secretary.
