Sir,
I am directed by the Governor to inform you, — with reference to your letter addressed to His Grace the Duke of Buckingham & Chandos,1 — that His Grace has requested that his thanks should be conveyed to you for the branchlets of the tree which you wish should be named after His Grace,2 and that you should be informed that His Grace has no objection to his name being given to this Tree.
I have &c
