Referring to Your Lordship's Circular Despatch of the
30th
September, respecting the mode of appointment to Public Offices,
in which you request to be informed whether I see any objection
to the adoption
of of the Rule which Your Lordship proposed for the
future, I have the honor to report that I am not aware of any
reason why that rule should not be established. The Offices in
respect of which it is still intended to issue Warrants include
all which could possibly require the formal authority for appointment.
