With reference to this telegram, I would suggest that a
postscript should be added to the draft of the Despatch to
Governor Musgrave in the following words;
Since writing the above I have received your second telegram
informing me that Mr Philippo accepts the appointment offered
to him and that he will leave by the next mail.
Understanding, therefore, that Mr Philippos acceptance is
unconditional I have replied by telegraph that he will be appointed.
