has not received on deposit at interest since March 1895 any
portion of the Treasury monies available in accordance with
the Secretary of State's limit. If there are no reasons to
the contrary and if the matter has been merely an oversight
perhaps Your Excellency would give directions that the Trea-
sury in future divide the Government deposits between the
Banks as was manifestly the intention of the Secretary of
State's instructions.
His Excellency
Sir William Robinson, G. C. M. G.
Believe me,
Yours very truly,
