Gentlemen
I beg to recommend payment of the small account herewith enclosed to Mr M. Macdonald of No, Surrey Street, Sheffield. for services rendered to the Hong Kong Mint.
In order to complete the enquiries necessary to recommend Mr Macdonald as Second Assayer, I had desired him to come up to town and confer with me, which he did on the very day I received your letter from Sir Frederic Rogers at the Colonial Office (dated 13th Dect) deferring the intended appointments
