RECEIVED 10 NOV !!

HOLLAND LODGE

35 ADDISON ROAD. W.

November 1911.

78113

Sir

I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your letter No: 34133/1911 of the 4th November, and to most respectfully offer the following reply thereto.

2. I did not understand that the enclosures to your letter of 14 June were intended to represent specific charges against me, but gather from that now under reply that such is the case.

3. I find it difficult to discover, however, what the actual charges are. But they appear to be

The Under Secretary of State

Colonial Office.

(a) That I restricted my enquiry into the working of the new scheme for the collection of fees &c: to interrogation of my own subordinates.

(b) That I was guilty of falsehood when I told Messrs Messer and Osborne that the scheme was working smoothly and well, because I was able subsequently to discover that the shroff had in isolated cases collected money in defiance of my orders.

(c) That I considered it advisable to use up the old stock of forms from motives of economy.
