No. 35

I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your Despatch No
99 of the 21st October, acquainting me that application has
been made for the issue of an Exequatur to Mr Mathew Trotter
Johnston as Consul for the North German Confederation in this
Colony, and desiring me to report to Your Lordship whether I am
aware of any objection to the appointment of this Gentleman.

2. I have the honor to inform Your Lordship in reply, that I
know of no reason why Mr Johnston should not be a fitting
person to fill the proposed Office.
