Commandant's Office
Moreton Bay 28th
Jan 1833
Sir
In obedience to the
commands of His Excellency The
Governor, conveyed to me in the 4th of Par.
of your letter No 32/11, I have now the
Honor to state to you, for his information,
the following means by the adoption
of which I conceived the Settlement
at Moreton Bay, would pay every
expense attending it, except the
Military detachment.
It is unnecessary for me
to mention, that the most serious
expense to which Government is at
present subjected, is that of sup=
=plying the prisoners with salted
meat, an expense which I cannot
help thinking ought never to have
been incurred, as the money which
is expended in supplying salt
provisions for eighteen months,
if applied in purchasing and
sending live stock, would render
all future supplies of beef or pork
from Sydney unnecessary, and

Hi @msk,
I have sent you an email which explains some of the common conventions used in transcribing and reviewing these letters. Hopefully you will find that helpful. You can also click on the Help tab at the top of each page for further information.
Thank you for the email and this note.
My question now is that, when i did some correction and saved it. And if i wish to come back to it say tomorrow, how can i find and open the same 'letter'?
do i need to note down any number or something to open back?
Regards
msk
Hi again @msk,
If you want to go back and work on the same letter you hadn't finished, you will need to note the number of the letter you were working on. Of course, it is always possible that another volunteer may have logged in and finished the transcription of that particular letter. In that case you can simply select another letter to start working on. Or if the original letter you were looking for has been corrected you could review it, if it is on the site to work on.
Letters that have been fully transcribed and reviewed do disappear from view - this setting makes it neater and easier to work on fresh letters.
