Tasmania,

Colonial Secretary's Office,

30th June 1860

Sir,

I beg to tender you the thanks of this Government for your kind services, so freely given, in preparing for the landing and forwarding the Salmon ova, expected per "S. Curling."

At the same time I have to acquaint you that a letter has been addressed to the Honorable the Chief Secretary by this Government,

Two letters were received from the Colonial Secretary, Tasmania. The first asked the Victorian Government to co-operate in the introduction of salmon, and the second followed up the introduction of salmon ova (Nos 5590, 7147, vol. 1860 P, VPRS 1168/P, Public Record Office, Victoria).

respecting some future arrangements, by a united plan, between the two Governments, for the importation of a further supply. This communication may perhaps come before you, and I hope it may meet with your favorable attention.

See also M to W. Nicholson, 25 July 1860 (in this edition as 60-07-25b).

I have the honor to be,

Sir,

Your very obedient Servant.
