[diagonally from bottom LH corner of page, different hand] Governor's decision [underlined]

I presume the Deputy Comy General proposed to issue at Moreton Bay for the winter half year, the same clothing that he issues for the Summer, to which I have no objection if the Medical Officer unites with the Comman-dant in recommending it but I think under any circumstances some Woollen Clothing ought to be forwarded for Invalids __
