"Correspondence between these places by the "Packets" of the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company otherwise than in the Mails, which gives the Community such an advantage over that portion that does not adopt the legitimate mode of transmitting their correspondence" and I have been requested by the Directors to report fully on the subject.

Being ignorant of the practice alluded to, I am unable either to put a stop to it, or give some clue to those who take charge of them. I will therefore feel greatly obliged if you will favor me with this information or any other particulars which will enable me to take definite steps in the matter.

_(Signed) Thos: Sutherland. Superintendent.

I am anxious to put a stop to it, as being made acquainted with the way these firms convey letters in this illegal manner.
