Under-Secretary Wilmot to Messrs. Taylor and Upton

I am directed by Lord Bathurst to acquaint you, in reply to your letter of the 7th inst., stating your intention of proceeding to New Zealand, and offering to convey any dispatches that His Lordship may have to send to that place, that, as His Lordship does not hold any correspondence with any of the missionaries there, he has not any occasion to avail himself of your offer.
