Summary: This page contains correspondence from Perkins Bacon & Co. to Pearson Hill, explaining their inability to provide further impressions of postage stamps due to an official directive from Mr. Julyan, Agent General for the Crown Colonies. The letter references previous requests for stamp impressions by government representatives and returns an India proof impression from dies prepared for the Pacific Steam Navigation Company.
