letter should be communicated to Mr. Seth through the same

channel. It would not have been correct on my part to have

communicated my letter to Your Excellency to Mr. Seth. But in

view of what Your Excellency has said on the subject I have now

done so.

I may remark that Your Excellency did not

hesitate to communicate to me Mr. Seth's letter to the Colonial

Secretary which contained a denial of the truth of the statement

I had made, and consequently an imputation on my veracity.

Your Excellency cannot I think have

realised the full effect of paragraph 5 of your letter of 3rd.

February. I had informed Your Excellency of certain facts

concerning Mr. Seth. Your Excellency referred my letter to Mr

Seth, and on his denying the truth of my statement, no enquiry

is made, but his letter is merely forwarded to me in such a

manner as to convey to me Your Excellency's belief in Mr. Seth's

denial, and disbelief in my statement: a disbelief which is

again expressed in Your Excellency's letter of 12th. March, and

is based on the facts of his long and honourable service, and

his having been awarded the Imperial Service Order. In my long

service I have never known of a serious charge being so dealt

with.
