With reference to your secret despatch of
the 4th July, I have the honour to enclose a copy of
a minute from the Chief Staff Officer showing that
there is an ample supply of Reserve ammunition here.
It is therefore unnecessary, I presume, that this
Colony should purchase an additional reserve
for the use of the Volounteers.
I have the honour to be
Sir
your most obedient
humble servant
Stury Ashake
Governor, &0.
Right Honourable
Joseph Chamberlain M.P.
Secretary of State for the Colonies.
