Carver Agents might have to make payment of Orders prior to the receipt of the remittances, the necessity to telegraph would be obviated by having advice of the amount of the Orders sent to the Crown Agents by the first Mail after the Orders, with instructions to pay the amount to the General Post Office. I have the honour to forward to Your Lordship a copy of a Report from the Postmaster General in which he proposes that the Crown Agents make necessary payments at once, but that if the mail succeeding the one in which the Order is sent does not contain the letter of advice suggested by Your Lordship, the Crown Agent should then telegraph immediately.
I am inclined to think that this arrangement will meet all the requirements of the case.
I have the honour to be,
My Lord,
Your Lordship's most obedient
humble servant
Kennedy
