It is desirable to number all dispatches which are not Secret or Confidential with the exception of the acknowledgments of dispatches prepaid in the Registrations department.

There are 25830 per annum duplicates.

The average number is between 2000 to 3000 per month exclusive of duplicates.

It would be very inconvenient for the Department to number these.

I don't hesitate to suggest how Circulars can be numbered.

All of them should be numbered as they do not all go to every colony.

Ser F. Rogers

I have requested the Departments to send to me all answers to Circulars that I may note them in a book which I keep for the purpose.

If this is done it will always be possible to tell which of the Colonies have delivered and which have not any particular Circular.

It would also be the practice in the W.D. Dept (and I believe in other depts also) to mark the answers to Circulars in the Book as they were received.

If this practice is still kept up it would constitute a check upon the correctness of the record which I keep.
