ABERDEEN TO ELLIOT1

Captain Elliot
Texas. No. 2.
Sir,
I think it right to call your attention to that Clause in your
commission which empowers you to appoint Vice Consuls at those
Ports and Places where the Interests of H. M's Service may
appear to require them, and to explain to you that you are not
to consider yourself authorized by that clause to appoint Vice
Consuls without the previous Sanction of this Department, and I
have to refer you upon this Subject to the 27th Paragraph of the
General Instructions
