Sir,
I beg to solicit your attention to the application addressed by me to the Principal Secretary of State for the Colonies for six weeks extension of the leave of absence granted me by Governor Seymour, and I shall be very thankful for an early reply to that application as the period of my actual leave is now so nearly exhausted.
I have the honor to be
Sir
Your most obedient servant
