QSA861248 1861 Letter from Colonial Secretary to Commandant 21 December, Letterbook of Letters to Other Departments, DR127331

Colonial Secretary's Office Brisbane, 21^st December 1861.

61/1568.

Sir,

I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 9^th Instant respecting the arrival at Head Quarters of Mr. R.J. Everett, whose appointment as Cadet in the Native Mounted Police was notified to you from this office on the 21^st October. It would appear that by an inadvertent omission, Mr Everett

The Commandant, N.M. Police, Rockhampton

[top right] 628

Everett has not been informed of his appointment, nor has it been Gazetted. He is therefore to be held blameless in the matter. I have however this day communicated with him and directed him to lose no time in reporting himself to Head Quarters. He will probably do so by next Steamer.

I have, &c

(Signed) A.W. Manning.
