Urges JH to stay at Collingwood [see JH's 1854-3-23], but send in any comments on the second draft of the report and authorize GA to act on JH's behalf.
There has been some confusion about sending packages of material; GA wants to know what JH has received.
Discusses investments.
Encourages Treasury to maintain distinction between temporary and permanent workers at Mint.
Is reluctant to attend meeting [see GA's 1854-3-14], as JH had intended to spend a few days at Collingwood.
