Old becoming Secretary to the Shipping Committee and suggesting a Mr. Seed of Maclaine Watson & Co., Java, for the post.\n\nAfter consulting the Vital Requirements Committee, I do not wish to appoint Mr. Seed and would prefer to make arrangements locally. I therefore suggest that Mr. Cary's services might be made available until his successor arrives when it is hoped that the latter might undertake the work. The remuneration would be $200 a month.\n\nI should be much obliged if you would inform me whether Mr. Cary is willing and can be permitted to undertake the work.\n\nThe Commodore-in-Charge.\n\nI have, &c.\n\n(sd.) F. H. May, Governor, &c.",
