No. 43

I have the honor to acknowledge your Circular Despatch of the
13th of June last, informing that Her Majesty had been pleased to
appoint a fourth Secretary of State, and directing that no change should
be made in the manner of addressing my correspondence, as you will
yourself transfer to the Duke of Newcastle, those portions of it which
appear more properly to fall under the consideration of the Secretary
for War. I beg to assure you that those instructions will be attended
to.

I have also to acknowledge your Despatch of the 25th of July
last, advising the receipt of my Despatches from No 9 to No 28.
