Summary: This page contains a letter dated 19 February 1857 from London, expressing regret over a decision to adopt a bank note design by Mr H. D. Rogers of Edinburgh instead of the sender's. The letter discusses the history of supplying bank note plates, concerns about changes in design, and mentions the involvement of Perkins & Heath and changes in departmental officers.
