I have had the honor of receiving your letter of the
25th Instant
acquainting me with reference to my letter of the
17h Instant, that
the Secretary of State has been pleased to permit me to defer my
departure from this Country until the
beginning of May next; for
which kind consideration
I I beg to return my grateful thanks.
T.F. Elliot Esqre
Under Secretary of State
for the Colonies
