Your Lordship's obedient humble servant,
(Signed) W. H. SLEEMAN.
To the Most Noble
the Marquis of Dalhousie, K.T.,
&c. &c. &c.
P.S.—I find that the King's brother is altogether incompetent for anything like business or responsibility. The minister has not one single quality that a minister ought to have; and the King cannot be considered to be in a sound state of mind.
(Signed) W. H. SLEEMAN.
