For a particular instalment may have to be rejected. There is the more reason for allowing a moderate margin for I understand they comment when properly stored in bulk condition for a short time, it improves rather than deteriorates in quality, and it would be well if it could be arranged to arrive in the Colony some weeks earlier than it is wanted. I am strongly of opinion that it will be wiser to incur delay rather than run the risks of purchasing cement locally for such an important work as this. Under the arrangement pointed out above probably no delay need occur, and I have again to instruct agents accordingly that no risk or individual loss may occur.

Fixed spacing issues and hyphenation or line-break artifacts. 3. Rejoined broken sentences. 4. Restored paragraph breaks where necessary. 5. Indicated missing words with `...` was not needed. 6. Applied Markdown formatting for structure, but as per the final instruction, I output HTML using `
