Sir,

I beg to inform you that, acting upon a request made to him by the Commissioners appointed to represent Victoria at the Tasmanian International Exhibition to be opened in November next, Sir James Patterson is desirous that representative exhibits shall be prepared by the various Government Departments and Branches without involving the Commissioners in any expense therefor, and I shall be glad if you will be so good as to inform me if you desire to prepare any collection of articles for the exhibition in question.

See T. Bride to M, 12 September 1894 (in this edition as 94-09-12b).

I have the honor to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient servant,
