I have the honour, on behalf of the Government, to thank you for the exhibit you kindly lent for exhibition at the St. Louis Fair.

I have much pleasure in stating that it attracted a considerable amount of attention and helped materially towards the success of the New Zealand Court.

I have the honour to be
Sir,
Your obedient servant,
