You will have learnt that your telegram of the 1st May has
reached me apparently reporting a decision in favor of Victoria. I
trustthat
that this is so and that the irritation and ill feeling which
has not unnaturally arisen from the uncertainty in which those whose
interests were seriously concerned had been so long kept will now
pass away and the decision be generally accepted as in accordance
with the interests of the whole Community.
