I am not aware of any objection to the establishment of a system which has been found to work well, and to afford great public accommodation in other places. And I shall be glad if Your Lordship will submit my application to Her Majesty's Postmaster General that the arrangement may be extended to this Colony, and that the Post Office here may befurnishedManuscript image furnished with the necessary forms and instructions.
I have the honor to be
My Lord
Your most obedient
humble Servant
