&lt;p&gt;Your ref. 911 (38)&lt;br /&gt;My ref. C. O. 22/57A&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="text-align:right;"&gt; 9th September 1980&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;span style="background-color:#000000;color:#000000;"&gt;████████████████████&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In your letter of the 8th September, you mention the high cost of insertions in the Gazettes. Is there here another minor economy to be effected? I understand that the text of Letters Patent is repeated &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;verbatim&lt;/span&gt; in each Gazette. Is this necessary? For example, would it be good enough, in our case, if the entry were on these lines:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Letters Patent appointing A., B and C as Counsellors of State were issued under the Great Seal on … September 1980”?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There may be some law of the Medes and the Persians that forbids this; but it should save a little money.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="text-align:right;"&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;J. W. Bourne&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
