LORD DUNDONALD'S PLANS.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Sir,—Observing the obliging inquiry made on Friday
in the House of Commons, as regards the investigation
of my plans, and the answer given, I am desirous 'to
signify my regret that, though so much valuable tkaa
has elapsed, no opportunity has been afforded me to ex-
plain supposed difficulties.
I unhesitatingly assert that no difficnlty.has occurred
to me ; that I have often considered the plans during
40 years, and am ready personally to puy them in execu-
tion ; that I will accept all responsibility in carrying
them into practice, in which no danger shall be incurred
by the fleet.
As these assertions may appear questionable, let those
in power summon me before a commission, and in one
hour the plans may be -explained, considered, accepted,
or rejected.—l am, sir, your obliged and obedient
servant, DUNDONALD.
