Sir, — I have received a letter from Mr. L. Wray, I.S.O., 

 of the 15th ultimo, in which he informs me, that he has got 

 a balance of £332-6-7 over, after defraying all expenses of 

 the Exhibition. 



As the accounts of this Association, notwithstanding 

 the liberal monetary support received from its Members, 

 show a deficit under this head of nearly £100, I trust that 

 your Government will see their way to refund to us this 

 amount out of the surplus, now available. 



I have etc.,

 bably be a convenience if a statement could be given show-
