No. 78, Miscellaneous

His Excellency Governor Seymour having announced his intention of
bringing the subject of Postal communication between these Colonies
and Panama under the notice of Her Majesty's Government,

*

I have the honor to refer you to a communication which I made to the
Legislature of this Colony in September 1864 in reference to that
undertaking, and which you will find at page [blank] of the Minutes
of the Legislative Council transmitted in my Despatch No 76, 26th
August 1865 by this Mail.

The Legislative Assembly subsequently declined to vote any money in
furtherance of this object.
