No. 26.
The Hon. C. W. Richmond to the Rev. John Aldred.
Sir,—
Mr. Hamilton having reported to His Excellency. Through the Native Secretary, that you afforded him, whilst lately engaged in negotiations with the Natives at Banks' Peninsula, most material aid by acting as his Interpreter, I have the honor, by direction of the Governor, to tender you His Excellency's thanks for that service, which are the more due, as it appears that your assistance on that occasion was rendered at considerable personal inconvenience to yourself
