Andrew Sinclair, Esq., to the Commissioner of Crown Lands, Otago.

Sir,—

With reference to your letter of the 28th ultimo, enclosing an application from the Rev. I. F. H. Wohlers for a supply of books for the use of the school under his charge, I have the honour, by direction of His Excellency, the Officer administering the Government, to request you will inform the reverend gentleman, that His Excellency regrets he has no books at his disposal with which to supply him, neither has he any available means for their purchase.
