in his charge - He is a good officer and zealous and I dont like to let him think he is slighted - His feeling expressed privately to me is that he is slighted by an unprofessional man like Porter being allowed to employ and direct road works in his district - Winter might do to take charge of the Pov. Bay roads but he has little experience and wants sharp looking after - It wants a man used to natives - Many thanks to you for seeing to young Eyre's matter I hope he will go Home. In haste Yours always J.D. Ormond
