may
add that Government consider the former of these conjectures the more reasonable, should there however be any additional charge it must of Course be specified.
As a general rule I have to add that it will be expected that the Government Documents shall be
inserted in the first page of the Paper except in case when they may
be forwarded too late as within 48 hours before its intended publication
