Blacket explains that this is a 'larger & much better book' than the first edition and he itemises the new sections in particular the chapter on 'Legislatic Difficulties'. He also explains that he is selling the book too cheaply; 'when I sent out my prospectus twelve months ago I was not aware that the Book would consist of so many pages and having advertised it at 5/- I cannot increase the price now as faith must be kept with the public'. The letter has been folded for posting and has a few other minor creases.

Sir James Hurtle Fisher the first Resident Commissioner of the Province and later first Mayor of Adelaide was Mr Morphett's maternal grandfather.
