to the official inspection of the work after my departure.
At present invalid, he is unable to accept any responsibility in this important matter, and considers it would be highly injudicious on my part to leave England until the Coining Presses are quite perfect.
The Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company having expressed their willingness to allow me to postpone my departure, I have now to request discretionary power as to the date when it may be desirable under these altered circumstances to sail from Southampton.
The Press that was to be adapted for coining pieces with a legend on the edge, has been so weathered that it will not be safe to coin dollars in it, and it has been altered to suit another purpose not contemplated in the contract, releasing Messrs Watt & Co. from any responsibility thereto. It will be necessary to reserve this press for smaller coins, and its place occupied for dollars by the Press proposed to be ordered from Messrs. Bailly H. of Paris.
I have the honor to be,
Your obedient servant,
The Under Secretary
