Tuesday euening, July Cd, 1911.
DEAR HESRy,-lt gives me real pleasure to
find that the apprehension | had formed with
respect to the fulflment of your expectations.
is likely TO prove erroneous. AS every thing
which passed relative to your mission was in
writing. l think you will do well in submitting
to Mr.. Peel all the original papers. l, myself.
could give no other information relative to the
subject than what they contain, as you and
had no opportunity of any verbal communion
ton respecting It, till after your mission tor
minated, and | never wrote you a letter in ths
Governors name, which had not previously
been submitted to his correction.
The impression l had received Of your cha
racter and abilities made me anxious to serve
you, even before ! had the pleasure Of a per-
sonal acquaintance with you, and the same de-
sire has operated on me ever since | am.
therefore, entitled to hope. that any opinion
which ! may have given you, as to your best
mode of obtaining an employment under oo-
vernment, will be received with tho same can.
dor that gave rise to it. | think you will do
we'll to persevere as you propose. l have no
doubt that every letter from you which Sir
James sent home, will be found in Mr.. peel,s
Office. as the established practice there il to
bind the dispatches and enclosures yearly un
together.
Sincerely wishing you every success, am,
most faithfully, yours.
