Registered No.63562 
General Post Office, London. 
19th February, 1907. 
Sir, 
With reference to your letter of the 10th of last month, 
No. 9, relative to the non-delivery of t-'o parcels addressed to the 
Superintendent, Botanic Gardens, British Guiana, I an directed by 
the Postmaster General to state that, although five parcels for 
the Superintendent, Botanic Gardens, British Guiana, and 34 par- 
V 
cels for the Director, Botanic Gardens,,Jamaica, were advised on 
- 
the Parcel Bill of the Mail for London’despatched from Singapore 
0 • J'i Pw i l& i 
on the 3Cth of August last by way of Brindisi, the records of the 
* 
'Ji . h. ' /////' • i - i ; d • . / . t ^ P-p ■ /. ’ .' v ■ ; ' . ’ , 
despatch of the parcels from this country show that 30 parcels 
were addressed to Jamaica and only 3 parcels to British Guiana/ 
As no information has been received from Jamaica to show that any 
of the parcels sent to* that Colony were not addressed to it, the . 
outward records would appear to be correct; -and, in these circum¬ 
stances-, the gender's complaint of'the non-delivery of two par- 
♦ 
cels addressed to British Guiana seems to ’rave been made under a 
misapprehension. 
I "am to express the Postmaster'General 1 s regret that 
your Office was not advised, at the time of the receipt of the 
Mail referred to, of the discrepancy between the addresses shown 
on the parcels in .question and the entries on the relative Parcel 
Bill. 
I am, etc.,
