My dear Macdonald
Thanks for your letter. I am glad to find that you have had no difficulties with your colleagues.
Lord C. has written to me to say that the purposes being in London early next month, and will then enter upon the consideration of your proposals. I shall be ready
20306
to come over whenever he calls for me, and I hope we may be able to arrange everything in a satisfactory manner.
I wrote all my individual opinions very fully to Lord C. so long ago as the month of September last. I think you will agree with most of my views, and the only reason I had for not communicating them to you
20307
was that I thought you would be more free to act with your colleagues of the Lower Provinces if you could say that you were not aware of my confidential communications with Lord C.
Believe me to be, in haste, Yours most truly,
Monck
The Hon.
J.A. Macdonald.
