Confidential. May 1. 1846.
Sir,
Having reference to the Confidential letter which I left you on
the 16th February last, I have now to acquaint you that I have
had the honour to receive a despatch from The Earl of Aberdeen
dated on the 3d Ultimo, directing me to instruct you, confidenti-
ally, to confine your advice to British Subjects at your Consulate
who may consult you upon the subject of payment of duties, to
the general declaration recommended in the first part of my in-
structions, and to omit any advice to make the more detailed pro-
test recommended in the following part of those instructions.
To prevent misconception I recite below the portion of my
former instructions to which you are now directed to confine your-
self in any advice that may be sought of you upon this point, by
British Subjects trading at your Consulate.
"If he" (the Master) "should find that he is permitted to enter
under any other Authority than that of some existing revenue or
"IF. O., Texas, Vol. 16. This was the last letter to Aberdeen written
