Dear Sir,

I have the honour to receive your private note and immediately put your instructions into action.

Tomorrow I hope to be able to report that Captain Parsons with 12 Picked men start on the 1st Septr. I have this instant arrived in London and find that

that difficulties exist but trust to be able to overcome them feeling assured of your support if it becomes necessary to appeal to you.

Unless you should desire me to be there earlier, I purpose to be in attendance at the Colonial Office tomorrow at 2 o'clock. Earlier in the day I shall be with Sir Henry Storks respecting Stores and Sir John Burgoyne respecting officers and men.

I am, dear Sir with gratis &
respect
Yrs vy faithfully
R.C. Moody

Sir Ed B Lytton Bart.
