o 2 of the

calling for the details of Expenditure which has
beenbeen incurred upon

Documents, but there was a delay and
difficultydifficulty in obtaining them in
a perfect shape from the Acting Treasurer,
Captain Gosset, and they
eventually had to be prepared by his Successor, as will be more
clearly explained by a perusal of the enclosed correspondence.
