Will direct JH's 14 Apr. letter to Prince Metternich.
Relating postponement of ARW’s expedition until following November.
“Free passage to Singapore” granted to ARW and permission sought “to visit the Dutch and Spanish settlements in the Eastern Seas.” A place is available on a “ship of War” headed for Trincomalee “but no further.”
ARW should inform when he intends to leave on his expedition; no vessels are scheduled for Singapore after November and passage may not then be available.
