No. 45
I have the honor to forward, herewith, a design for a Postage
Stamp required for this Colony, and to request that the Crown
Agents may be instructed to procure and send out, viĆ¢ Panama,
so soon as they conveniently can, a supply of the stamps in question.
Minutes by CO staff
Mr Elliot
The Governor leaves the number of Postage Stamps to
the discretion of the Agents. Authorize a moderate supply?
Mr Jadis
Prepare draft as the despatch has been detained for
general reasons. Better mark the letter
immediate.
