With reference to your Despatch No. 238

of the 8th. ultimo, I have the honour to inform you that the

Colonial Treasurer has requested that the words 'at the cur-

rent rate of exchange" may in future he omitted from such

forms when addressed to this Goverment, as it is the practice

to obtain repayment of the amount of dollars standing in the

Treasury books.

THE RIGHT HONOURABLE

JOSEPH CHAMBERLAIN, M.P.,

I have the honour to be,

sir,

Your most obedient

Humble servant,
