Enclosure not found.
On 27 June 1863 the Under Secretary, W. Odgers noted that M's letter had been: 'Recd from Mr Moore on Mr O'S retirement'. The 'Mr Moore' was presumably the former Under Secretary, J. Moore; 'Mr O'S' is J. O'Shanassy, who had resigned as Chief Secretary on 27 June 1863, after having three discrete terms as Chief Secretary.
The file cover says Ledger's letter was 'containing a proposition for the introduction of an addl number of Alpacas'. See also M to W. Nicholson, 3 November 1860, and the report enclosed with this, C. Ledger to M, 1 November 1860 (in this edition as 60-11-01a).
