Sir,
Alluding to the interview which I had the pleasure of having with you
on Thursday last I find on looking to my papers that a letter was
addressed from the Colonial Secretary's Office on the 6th of August
to Mrs Curry & signed by Mr Wm A.G. Young. I addressed a letter
to him on behalf of Mrs Curry on the 26th of Septr suggesting
that a certificate of relationship and identity from the clergyman of the
Parish would under all the circumstances of the case be a sufficient
guarantee to the Colonial Office on handing over her sons effects.
To this I have had
no reply.

Mr Fuller has drawn my attention to this case today at the request
