As soon as this is done, I can proceed to consult about the nomination of the regency.
The members will, of course, be chosen from among the highest and most able members of the aristocracy present at the capital, and they can be installed in office the day they are chosen.

I do not apprehend any confusion or disturbance; but measures must be adopted immediately to pay up arrears due to the establishments, and dismiss all that are useless.
The, King is not worse--on the contrary, he is said to be better; but the hot season may be too much for him.

His present state, with a minister weak in body and not very strong in mind, is very unsatisfactory.

Fortunately the harvest is unusually fine.
Yours sincerely, (Signed) W.H.SLEEMAN.

My Lord, Dr.Bell, has relieved Dr.Leekie from his charge, and I am glad that so able and experienced a medical officer has been appointed to it by your Lordship, for he will have the means of doing much good here if he can secure the confidence and esteem of his native patients.
