With regard to this particular amount of $9340, should it be inconvenient to be forced into the public markets without previous warning (which it is hoped it will not be), His Excellency the Governor will direct a warrant for this sum to be passed in your favor, as was done for you before, and he hopes you will be able to dispense with this assistance.

I am to add that this Government will be willing to endorse your Bills to the extent of the advance authorised by the Secretary of State, should such a measure, in your opinion, tend to render them negotiable on better terms.

I have, &c.,

(Signed) W. F. Mercer

Colonial Secretary
