| Sir, |
| Your telegram of the 9th instant has been received. |
| Captain Lucas has been on duty at Bristol, since the
19th of October 1861, and has proved himself to be a most energetic and
faithful public officer. His services are considered valuable and
important at that post, and the public interests require that he should
be retained on duty there. |
