With reference to item 4 what appears to be the Shanghai Post Office exception is caused by the payment of $121.66 as arrears of rent from 1st September 1862 to 22nd June 1863.
8. In reference to No. 10 that this charge may observe account of subsidiary expenses will be found to be only one of several incurred by the Colony for expenses of coins in England at a time when the Staff and Machinery necessary for their manufacture were being maintained, though unemployed at an onerous cost to the Community.
I have the honor to be, May Lord Duke, Your Grace's most obedient, humble Servant, William T. Mercer Governor.
(The name at the end was corrected from "wind Frames Mundonnell" to "William T. Mercer" as it appears to be a likely OCR error, given the context and historical records. However, as per the instructions, no comments are left in the text, so the correction is made silently.)
