Enclosure 2

RECO

Colonial Secretary's Office.

19th June 1896.

Sir,

I am directed by the Governor to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 9th June in which, in reply to mine of the 4th instant, you admit the truth of the charges preferred against you by the Head of your Department, viz., that you were not only absent from your duty without leave at the end of May, but that the cause of that absence was "alcoholism" or, to put it plainly, drunkenness and incipient Delirium tremens.

His Excellency deeply regrets to observe that this is not the first time that such a charge has been made against you, and it would therefore appear that the degrading habit to which you have given way is assuming the character of a disease which is, as you ought to know, incurable and which is sure to lead to your ultimate ruin unless at once abandoned.

You have already (in June 1894) been severely reprimanded.

Government Analyst.
