                     This despatch ack the receipt of the mail sent from
                     this Office on the 
15 of January.
                     
 
                  
                  
                     The Gov has not however yet ack the mail from this Office
                     of 4 Jan.
                     
                  
                  
                     As however by this despatch he ack the receipt of the
                     duplicates of that mail—it seems hardly necessary to call his
                     attention to the omission.
                     
                  
                  
                     There is one other Arrear resting with the Gov, but as he has
                     promised, by this mail, to attend to it the omission of it from
                     the schedule is of no consequence.
