Confidentially part of the S.O.C. to have conferred with the Governor before buying this Hotel, but I do not see that there are sufficient grounds for asking the W.O. to give up the site.

The Lovemor suggestion for the location of Troops makes no alternative, and it seems improbable that a Public Company could be formed in a month's time to buy back the Hotel.

Telegraph to F.O. that M. Chamberlain feels no reason sufficient to interfere in the matter, & send despatch (in original to be returned) to W.O. for information, with copy of letter in reply, adding that ...

But when one looks into it, I don't see that there is really much to complain of. I concurred & agreed with F.O. Black that the petitioners have a personal grievance.

The auctioneer were grounded, I have been battered. Expression of the future heap pin, troops & do the best they could for the property.

I am regretful that S.O.C acted without first conferring with the Governor, and told F.O. (by despatch) that we have so written to W.O.

At first sight, it appears as if there had been a little sharp practice on the part of the W.O. in this matter.

Fears in the market... if we have been with gloss to acquire & sum the Jul... pretty sure hotel... a young baronet that never have had. The W.O. would certainly the Japanese might have taken the fort into compliance, though it would have made much difference, it is perhaps having wearying...
