The second is a detailed letter dated 29th June 1847 from Holles Street, discussing the investigation into alleged forgeries of £20 notes from the Commercial Bank of Sydney. The letter addresses accusations involving unnamed printers and a person named Richards, and outlines the security measures in place to prevent such forgeries within the printing office.
