No. 74, Separate

I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt this day of your
Despatches of the numbers and dates noted in the margin.

*

The last Despatches previously received by me were those which I
acknowledge in my Despatch No 54, dated 8th July 1865.

It appears therefore (referring to my Despatch No 69 of the 19th
instant) that both the originals and the duplicates of any
Despatches which you may have forwarded to me between the 4th May
and the 8th June (including among them Nos 26, 27, and 28) have
been lost—that both the originals and the duplicates of any
Circular Despatches so forwarded between the 4th May and the 2nd
June have also been lost—and that the originals of the duplicate
Despatches and Circulars above named in the margin have likewise been
lost.
