First, you have to draw up a statement of your instructions received from Sergeant Bulmer, in order to show us that nothing has escaped your memory, and that you are thoroughly acquainted with all the circumstances of the case which has been intrusted to you.

Secondly, you are to inform me what it is you propose to do.

Thirdly, you are to report every inch of your progress (if you make any) from day to day, and, if need be, from hour to hour as well.

This is _your_ duty.

As to what _my_ duty may be, when I want you to remind me of it, I will write and tell you so.
