I agree, however, with Mr. Wilford that it would
not be at all easy to put these ideas to the Governor.
Perhaps the best thing would be to do nothing at

raised by others I would do no more than listen to what
was said. If, after my visit, it seemed to me that
we should pursue these ideas, I could make recommendations
on my return for discussion with Sir D. Trench's
successor.
