As the above proposals involve an alteration of the conditions upon which you sanctioned the purchase of the new site for the Post Office, I have not taken any steps to invite competitive designs for the new building as authorised by you in your telegram of the 24th of March last, and I await your decision on the question of whether the site shall be utilised for the accommodation of the Chinese Postmen or not.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient

Humble servant,

M.y. Gascoigne

Major-General,

Administering the Government.
