5.

The despatch and its enclosures to which reference is made in the postcript to Messrs Wolfe Barry's letter are those which were transmitted to us with your memorandum

of the 6th of January. The original enclosures to which are herewith returned.

6. I beg to add that Sir F. Lugard is mistaken in

supposing in paragraph 3 of his despatch of 30th October

that any exception was taken on this side to the system

under which his Predecessor had required the Resident Engineer

to attend weekly at Government House to confer with the

Governor as to the progress of the Railway works; what I suggested to Sir F. Lugard was that the practice of always holding such meetings on Sundays had been hardly fair to the

Resident Engineer

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your obedient servant,
