Further

as to the second paragraph of your letter, it says that the grounds of charge rest on the letters of Mr Souza and Inspector Cameron, I beg for permission to ask the latter officer a question to the effect at once to show himself that why did he not appear at a trial as in case of S. Perry against Aling, the then servant to the Captain Superintendent of Police? If he had given evidence.

After having given all the above my explanations, I beg most sincerely to relate a few words to the groundless charge brought against me by Mr Souza, & perfectly understand that he is simply on account of a dispute about money - as he borrowed from me a sum of $25 on the 5th April last, which (he said) for the purpose of defraying funeral expenses on the death of his brother-in-law, and which I demanded from him in many occasions urgently, and which he has repaid on the 4th instant with a very excited countenance on pay-day. He therefore promised to be repaid in a few days.
