Downing Street,

31st May, 1916.

436

My dear Stewart,

I have your letter of the 38th of May.

Copies of the Petition to which you

refer have already reached me, but the original

Petition is being submitted to me through the

Governor who will let me have it with his oòmmente

upon it.

You will understand, I am sure, that I

can do nothing until I have heard what the Governor has to say. I think, therefore, that no useful

purpose would be served either by a question or by

an interview until I have had the Governor's

despatch.

Yours sincerely,

(Sd) A.Bonar Law.
