Letter

Tilley to Hamilton Gray, January 21, 1864

[Enclosure 3 in No. 24.]

Mr. Tilley to Mr. Gray.

Sir: I am directed by his excellency the lieutenant governor to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 14th instant, addressed to his excellency.

As his excellency had, before the receipt of this letter, determined upon the course which he would pursue with respect to the matter of which it treats, and has already acted on that determination, he considers it unnecessary at present to discuss the questions raised by you when in ignorance of his excellency’s decision.

I have, &c.,

S. L. TILLEY.
