there without my permission; as that would be subversive to the discipline I wish to be observed and strictly adhered to in the Force. Mr. Cooke being there cannot be relied on with any degree of certainty; that shall therefore not interfere in the least with my arrangements, further than perhaps to change the Policeman's station; where he would be still immediately- available, to apprehend any intruders. As you must now perceive that my object in having a Policeman at your place is fully in accordance with my public duties, you will, I trust, resign every feeling of delicacy on the subject. And believe me to remain, Very sincerely yours. (Signed) Donald McLean.
