be considered for the present on a provisional basis, and subject to future alterations and modifications
as game experience may suggest. To
this point therefore your attention is called
to be directed as soon as

You
will communicate
to me any suggestions
you may have
in order
that I may bring them
under the consideration
of the Lords of the Treasury.
In the meantime the
Enclosed
Instructions
sufficiently explain the system and forms of keeping
64
Public accounts which the experience of
The Lords of the Treasury has pointed out as
most convenient, and it will be necessary that the Treasurer and Auditor should be directed
to adhere to them as far
as circumstances will
permit in the discharge of their
duties.
