Parse make by other manufacturers: it is easy to order a more costly paper but I do not know that a higher price would secure a more suitable one.

For example, paper of precisely the same qualities as years past has been sent from Tasmania, Ayton and some of the West India Islands in common with other Colonies, but it has never been complained of. Same goes that it is most difficult to preserve paper in a damp hot climate.

Pencil - some of A. W. Faber's and some of Mordan's were ordered as demanded. Some of G. W. Faber's were also sent because the Crown Agents had reason, I believe, that the quality was good. It was found that the pencils of that maker deteriorated and it is but candid to admit that in this respect there is ground for complaint.

Sealing Wax: "Hyde's best" was supplied, similar wax has been sent to other Colonies. The sample in this case was tried before wax was packed, it appeared of very fair quality, but the Crown Agents would be glad if the acting Auditor General would send home some "Hyde's" cut out with the name on it, a harder and better coloured wax can be purchased from other makers without any increase of cost.

No pains are spared by the Crown Agents to obtain for Colonial Governments the best articles.
