Sir,
With a view to obviate delay in answering questions in the Legislative Assembly relating
to Departments under the Honble the Chief Secretary I am directed to remind you of
the necessity of making an examination of the Notice Paper during the Session and
furnishing replies to such questions on it as may have reference to your Department
early in the [Session] without official application from this office.
I have the honor to be
Sir
Your most obedient servant
W. H. Odgers
