March 3rd [186]31
Sir
Dr Black2 only informed me yesterday afternoon of your reply in reference to the Fallow deer. It will now be impossible to remove them this week as Mr Samuel Wilson requested me to give him 5 or 6 days clear notice I have written to him asking if he will have the waggons ready for Wednesday the 11th Inst which day I hope will be convenient to you3
I have the honor to be
Sir
Your most Obedt Servant

Thomas Black.
See G. Sprigg to M, 26 February 1862, for the previous arrangement.
On the same day, 3 March, Sprigg wrote to Wilson saying he had only received a response about the deer 'yesterday afternoon' and setting 11 March as the new date for catching them (VPRS 2225, unit 2, p. 413, Public Record Office, Victoria).
