If it is desired that the Library should have a perfect collection of Stamps supplied by Governments I would suggest that my Department should be told to mind that arrangements be made for regular supplies to the Library as well as printing.

I conclude that the C.O. will be satisfied with Stamps overprinted with the word "Specimen" which is done in the case of all supplies.

Danish, Cape & Tasmania, which have been supplied by the Crown Agents. Mr. Blake tells me that they will in future print their own, & I have therefore included them in the Circular.

The Crown Agents have sent some stale stamps which are not used. I think we might use them as specimens from 15/1
