Summary: This page is a letter from Perkins, Bacon & Co to E. W. T. Saundrie, Cashier at the Bank of Australasia, discussing issues with the blue ink used on Launceston Notes, which could be removed by india rubber due to a lack of 'dryer' in the ink. The letter details the investigation into the defective notes and the decision to print replacements at no charge.
