I have the honor to transmit a letter entrusted to me by Mr Nicholles of this colony which I have read as I understood to be the writers desire.

The truth of some of these statements is beyond my personal knowledge, and others do not require any comment. They are all I think possibly true andprobable probable.

I have the honor to be My Lord Your Graces very obedient Servant A.E. Kennedy Governor

The foolish letter of a very foolish man. I do not understand what Gov. K means by calling his statements "possibly" true & "probable." Some of them are allegations of visible facts, whwhich plainly are true or plainly false.

Proceed as above.
