I approve of your having published my Despatch, and I should wish you to use your own judgment respecting the mode and time of bringing the question before your Council, and not to suppose yourself bound to bring forward any formal proposal unless you think that by so doing you will promote the acceptance of the Union.
I have forwarded a copy of this DespatchtoManuscript image to Sir John Young for his information.
I have the honor to be
Sir,
Your most obedient
humble Servant
