myself the honor to acquaint you that his
Lordship has recently received a letter from
the Secretary of State for War, forwarding
one from the Secretary of State for the Colo-
nies, regarding your retirement from the office
of Governor of New Zealand, on the assump-
tion thereof by Colonel Gore Browne, and
calling attention to the satisfactory manner in
which you have performed the duties that have
devolved upon you since you have been in the
Island, and in making this communication to
you, I am directed to state that while it affords
the Field Marshal great satisfaction to have
the means of recording so strong a testimonial
to your services, both Civil and Military, he
desires to assure you, that it is not more than
he wou'd have expected from the character
which you have always borne in the service.
I have, &c.,
(Signed) C. YORKE,
