sir,

Fo 2498h

I have the honour to acknowledge the re-

ceipt of your Despatch No. 255 of the 16th. July approving of

my proposals for reorganising the Registration and Parcels

Branch of the Post Office.

2.

The Officers referred to in the 2nd, and

3rd. paragraphs of your Despatch show no dissatisfaction with

the new arrangements, and I see no reason why applications for

increase of salary which they may make in the future should

be entertained.

THE RIGHT HONOURABLE

JOSEPH CHAMBERLAIN, M.P.,

I have the honour to be,

sir,

Your most obedient

Humble servant,

Governor, &C..
