Hercules Robinson, Sir,
MINUTE
16 March 1862
With reference to Governor Mercer's despatch of the 30th January last, transmitting copy of the Surveyor General's report on sites available for the erection of the Mint, I have the honour to transmit to you copies of correspondence on the subject between Major Kinder and this department.
I also transmit herewith a draft to his Excellency to acquaint you that I referred the above despatch to the War Office for their consideration, and hope to be able at an early date to communicate to you their decision.
