Director &c

At the close of last month a sufficient number of objects belonging to the Mr. EW Nelsons Collections remained to occupy a weeks time in making their record. 

Mr. L M Turner's collections having been brought over were next attended to and their record has been continued without interruption to this time. I anticipate that in a day or two they will be entirely disposed of. The catalogue shows an enumeration of over One thousand objects - beginning with No 64301 and ending at 65312.

It appears to be the wish of Maj Powell and Mr Holmes that the work on Dr Palmers Pottery should be finished and if there be no objection this work will be next taken in hand.
