The Pamphlet Collection of Sir Robert Stout: Volume 76

Wellington, N.Z., 22nd March, 1899

Department of Agriculture, Sir,—

Wellington, N.Z.,

Adverting to the question asked in the House of Representatives on the 5th August last, whether any report had been received from you, and the Hon. the Minister's reply thereto: I have to say that he made the statement in good faith, as when he asked if any communication had come to hand the receipt of your report of the 30th March. 1898, was overlooked. As explained to you later, a summary of the report appeared in the New Zealand Times of the 16th May, and was widely circulated. It will be seen that this was nearly three months before the statement was made in the House.

I have, &c.,

John D. Ritchie

, Secretary.

John Holmes

, Esq., Wellington.
