Surveyor General's Office,

Victoria, 14 March 1856.

Sir,

It has been represented to me by Mr. Paver, the Clerk of Deed Registry that the present Safe in his Office is insufficient for the safe custody of the daily increasing number of Deeds and Memorials; I therefore have the honour to request that another may be procured direct from England, of the following description, One Man's Patent Fire proof Safe, with folding doors, measuring 4'. 6" x 2'. 8" and 2 feet deep.

I estimate the cost of the safe required will be £50.

The Honble W. J. Mercer, Esquire,
Colonial Secretary.
