I have had the honor of receiving your letter of the
25 Instant
acquainting me with reference to my letter of the
17 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 Esq
Under Secretary of State
for the Colonies
