I understand that I cannot recognise the regularity of any arrangement under which money is paid into the Colonial Treasury without the nature of the payment and its source being made known to the Treasurer and Auditor.
Dear Sir William Robinson,
Referring to my letter of the 16th of May, I enclose a copy of further correspondence with Sir George O'Brien as to his refunds of pay. I do not want to press the matter if it embarrasses him, and if you think that any of the matters referred to in my former letters you are not already acted upon, you are at liberty to let them rest. In any case, will you be good enough to take action.
27 July
To Mr O'Brien, 4 July.
