Colonial Secretary's Office

29th. August 1825

Reverend Sir,

The Religious Tracts which you lately forwarded to the Governor having been submitted by His Excellency to the perusal of the Venerable the Archdeacon, it is his opinion that they should not be distributed in the Orphan Schools of the Crown.

I have the honor to be,

Reverend Sir,

Your obedient servant

F. Goulburn
