Dear Mr. Graham,

de to

India Office

12th May 1868.

The opinion you express

our not requiring any

Mint

Machinery is quite correct, and there

is no prospect of our having any such want for some time to come).

I regret that I

am unable

to suggest any other mode of disposing of the Hong Kong machinery than that which you contemplate, viz! having it sent home and disposing of it in Europe

That I apprehend will be an expensive and difficult operation.

I

am

J.

My dear Sir

Faithfully Yours

Dear Mr. Graham,

With regard to the disposal

of the Hong Kong Mint, I am fearful

you

will find it a much more difficult matter to dispose of the Machinery than to get it made.

I would suggest, whether

The Steam Engines and Rolling Mills could not be utilized in India without much loss, I know the Dutch & Italian Governments have had to make very considerable sacrifices on what they have had to dispose of, this is not at all surprising, when we see the very precarious employment of such Machines by private

Mint owners, whilst

Government any requiring such machinery will have just what they require almost regardless of what the cost may be; Could not some of the things be made available for the

Melbourne Mint at

new

If any new idea occurs

to me?
