Recd Sept 11 AM 01
I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your letter No. 1483 dated 5th instant, and I note with very great regret, that the Right Honourable the Secretary of State for the Colonies, had been unable to see sufficient grounds, for modifying the conditions under which he approved of my appointment as Postmaster General.
2.
I venture once more to approach the Right Honourable the Secretary of State on the subject, through His Excellency the Governor, and therefore respectfully ask that you will be good enough to lay this further letter before His Excellency, who, I trust, may with the additional facts, hereafter set forth, see sufficient reason, to make a further, and stronger representation on my behalf.
3.
Should I in my endeavour to make a strong case, appear somewhat to deal in personalities, I ask pardon for so doing as the subject matter is of vital importance to me and it is necessary that I should omit nothing pertinent to the case.
4.
In my letter of the 29th May last, I described my duties, as being those of the reorganisation "of a totally disorganised" department.
