rived thus far on my way to New Orleans and regret that I shall be unable to reach there in time for the Boat on the 1st of Nov. I will however be there in time for the Neptune on the 10th if she should not reach New Orleans by that time I will embark on the Columbia on the 15th.- I transmitted you my Despatch 28 from New York and beg leave to add that the confidential· despatch to which I refer in the Postscript of that Letter I deem it in all respects best reserve for a verbal & per- sonal conference between us.
