Sir,
I am about to take a decision and which might reduce him to straits if I do not modify it. But I am now unwilling to urge them, though, if it be necessary, I respectfully beg leave to do so.
I have now had time to ask that Mr. Chamberlain will be so good as to consider that my position be clearly stated on the actual source indicated in your letter, that is, up to the 31st December victuallers.
In the meanwhile I defer filling up and returning the form you sent in your good letter.
I have the honour to be, Sir, your obedient servant,
