With reference to your Despatch No. 71 of the 6th Ultimo, I have the honor to request that you will inform Mr. D. B.

You will state to Mr. Ring that I consider it the duty of the governor, in appointing to a vacant Public Office, to make the selection which he conscientiously believes to be best for the public Service, and that as I feel no doubt that you pursued that course on the present occasion, I have found no reason toManuscript image interfere with your discretion.
I have the honor to be

Your obedient servant
