Series notes:
These documents take the shape of a printed form, over the name of either the Secretary of State or the Under-Secretary, acknowledging receipt of despatches "of the numbers and dates noted in the margin." They were discontinued from 1 September, 1926, after which date the Dominions Office checked its incoming mails with the Governor's schedule which, if found correct, was merely stamped as being so and returned to the State. These forms could be used as a useful check on the Governor's outgoing despatches.
