In transmitting herewith these papers to your Excellency I take pleasure to recommend the apointment of M^r Bokkelen to said office, and, should any difficulty be in the way of forwarding his commission by the applicant's failure to remit the fee, I will thank the Hon Secy of State to write to him to that effect, that he may comply with the
