CIRCULAR.

Colonial Secretary's Office,
Auckland, 14th Dec., 1863,

SIR,

The General Assembly has appropri-
ated out of the Colonial Revenue for this
year the sum of Two Thousand Pounds
(£2000), towards a Patriotic Fund for the
support of the wives and families of those of
Her Majesty's Regular and Colonial Forces
who have fallen and may hereafter fall in the
course of the present war in this Colony.

I am sure that the Inhabitants and Legis-
lature of each Province will be anxious to
contribute to a Fund which has for its bene-
volent object the succour and relief of those
who, by the loss of their husbands and pa-
rents in battle or by death on active service
in the present war, are unable to maintain or
support themselves.

I gladly therefore invite your Honor's co-
operation in this matter, by requesting you
to be good enough to give general publicity
to the intention of the General Assembly,
and to take such other steps as may appear
to your Honor to be calculated to give it
additional effect.

I have, &c.,
(Signed) WILLIAM FOX.

His Honor the Superintendent.
