Mr Johnson's Minute indicates the reply I would give reluctance to what I have suggested above, but I think we should at the same time ask for some definite expression of his opinion regarding Mr. Marsh's suggestions. Chief Bowen was probably not well when he wrote this despatch, or perhaps affected by the "debilitating" climate.
We should, I think, have confidence in Lord Daly and discussion of force.
Van Entice confidence in him.
We can hardly make much of his allusion to the "writer" of the Despatch being someone close other than the Chief, but such allusions ought not to be made in public despatches. This might perhaps be suggested to him privately.

This is an unwise and impertinent despatch that I would not notice if severely deserved.
After replying in Johnson's minute, I would expect that in the latter part of despatch, his Chief Bowen indicates that he does not yet fully understand the relations between the Secretary of State, on behalf of the Government, who is ultimately responsible for the manner in which such matters are considered, and he is mindful of his obligation to determine what appointments and promotions (except in the War Office) should be made, and that changes in administrative arrangements shall be made.
The despatch and Daly is not sure has been correctly understood. Sir S. Baird.
On reading his Despatch of the 14th, I was surprised as to the writer.
