which the agent of Messrs Pardine Matheson sent Your Lordship a letter of complaint against me was also in connection with some unauthorized observations made by Dr. Eitel. The details are given in Mr. Keswick's letter enclosed in my despatch No. 111 of 16th June last.

My Lord,
Your Lordship's Most Obedient Humble Servant,
