Anticipated by you swing to the possibility of the supply in your office falling short of the requirements of the Colony, I would suggest that a reserve of postal orders to the value of £5000 be retained in your office in future, and that quarterly requisitions be made to this Department for amounts to represent the average quarterly issue in the Colony.

This course would, it is thought, obviate all risk of the supply in your office becoming deficient at any time, while it would also prevent the necessity for so large a demand being preferred at any one time.
