Gosset to Lytton

The later date at which I received your decision, in regard to
Gosset, Capt. William D.
Commisarysupplies for
the safe scales, dies & stationery, which I ventured to consider
necessary for the security of the Public from loss or fraud; has put it
out of my power to visit the Stationery Office to select books & papers
&c; but the Comptroller of the Stationery Office would no doubt send out
"a suitable collection of posting ledgers, cash, day & memoranda
books and other ordinary articles of banking or Treasury use for
organizing a new office" if requested in these general terms to do so.

If registration of assurances be contemplated (and on this point
yr letter makes no reference to my memorandum) some quires of a larger
sized (folio) paper of the most durable kind should be added to
the supply. And as you have decided against dies, perhaps you may
approve of sending out stamps of various
values from 1d upwards both receipt and bill &c.
