With reference to my letter of the 22nd instant, I have the honour to report that as the Postmaster of Macao has assented to use similar stamps & obliterate those asked for therein, I shall be glad if you will cause me to be furnished with one dated stamp and one obliterating stamp for use at Macao; the office seal at present in use there is sufficient for present purposes.

To

J. Hill, Esq., London.

Postmaster General.
