About this item
- Content
Letter regarding an unofficial letter that had been inadvertently included with the official papers and the procedure for withdrawing it.
The letter goes on to explain to Carnell the difference between Unofficial and official letters and that although unofficial letters often contained intimations of what the official view might be, if all his officers started taking his unofficial letters as 'sacred' he would no longer be able to write socially to them.
The letter also gives details of all the correspondence Pelly has previously referred to and encouraging him to write officially on the matter if he still felt aggrieved.
