7 Oakhill Park, Hampstead, NW. Oct 7 (18)63. Marked "Confidential". "My dear Sir James, I wrote you my candid opinion about the commission proposed for the Medc. Officers' grievances. I would gladly also give you some private reasons against the man chosen altogether conclusive to my mind. Catch Lord Stanley soiling the tips of one of his fingers to help out of the mire any body! If we could have put Hamlet's ghost into the chair of the India Commission, he would have served us better! And Lord S has done nothing for us..." ... SIGNED, F.N.
