My Lord,
10th August, 1844
In pursuance of the Suggestions contained in Your Lordship's Despatch No. 3 of the 29th February, and with reference to the concluding part of Your Lordship's Despatch No. 46 of 31st July, I have the honor to inclose and submit some suggestions for the modification of the directions issued by the Treasury Department to the Auditor of this Colony.

I have the honor to be,
With the highest respect
Your Lordship's,
Most Obedient,
Humble Servant.
