Mr Elliot
The Governor does not say that the instructions from this Office will meet with his immediate but only his "most careful attention." I should hope that he does not mean to delay furnishing the financial returns of this Colony, which have been required of him.
ABd 10 Sep
The instructions were for his general guidance in future in all the chief financial business of the Colony. I think therefore that he has used the appropriate epithet in promising obedience, and that this despatch may be put by.
