Description
She has written to Mr Coleridge, but not received any response to what Eleanor had suggested; she is confident Mr Gell will meet the requirements for the office at St Augustine's; reference to correspondence of Bishop Selwyn and Mr Godley in the Guardian newspaper, wondering whether Mr Gell's experience would lead him to understand the serious consequences of misgovernment at the Colonial Office, as Mr Godley fears.
