the Police next winter.
I am very desirous of early attention being paid to that requisition, so as to prevent the necessity of sending the articles, or any of them, overland and thereby incurring additional expense. I am of opinion that the new line of Fraser's Steamers from Liverpool would seem the most favorable and economical mode of sending the articles specified in the requisition.
I have the honor to be, My Lord Duke, Your Grace's Most obedient humble Servant.
Richard Graves MacDonnell Governor.
