sir,

I am directed to acknowledge the receipt

of your letter of the 10th. January with which you transmit

a draft telegram addressed by your Association to the

Secretary of State for the Colonies.

2.

I enclose a copy of the instructions of

the Colonial Office regarding the transmission of corres-

-pondence, from which it will be seen that the principal

reason for the rule as to forwarding through the Governor

is that the Governor may have opportunity to make such

report on the communication transmitted as its contenta may

appear to him to require..

3.

His Excellency the Officer Administering

the Government is of opinion that the subject matter of

your Association's draft telegram and its concomitant

circumstances cannot be adequately dealt with in a tele-

-graphic report; and he further considers the present time

to be singuarly inopportune for approaching His Majesty's

Government by telegram on subjects that are not of immediate

urgency. His Excellency proposes therefore to adopt the

usual course of reporting by despatch.

I am,

etc..

(8d.)

A.G.M. FLETCHER,

Colonial Secretary.
