C.O., Feb 6, 1867.

MY DEAR MR. MACDONALD,

I have had a sitting with Mr. Reilly over his and your drafts—which he seems pretty much to have in shape, or so nearly so that they could be placed in a few hours in the printer’s hands. But there is still a good deal wanting from you—particularly the Local Constitutions—the powers of the Local Legislatures—and the Educational clauses.

I hope you will be able to furnish them to him soon, as Lord C is very anxious to get on with the bill, so as to distribute it on Saturday—the possibility of which seems to be getting more and more doubtful.

Yours very truly,
FREDERIC ROGERS.
