Copies of Baxter's letter of Application and the certificates from his Employers and others, which appear very satisfactory; are enclosed.

He is ready to be appointed, and engages to sail by an early mail. With regard to the recommendation of a person properly qualified for the Office of Second Assayer of Hong Kong, considerable delay has occurred owing to the withdrawal of two competent gentlemen in succession after negotiating for the post.

Some time ago, attention was directed to the qualifications of a third Candidate, respecting whom a further communication will probably be addressed to you soon.

I have the honor to remain, Sir, Your obedient servant, Tho.
