Sir,
I am directed by Mr Secretary Lowe to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 1o. Instant, submitting for consideration a plan which you have invented for the utilisation of Railway-tickets. And I am to inform you that the Secretary of State never interferes in the matter of inventions. They must depend upon their own merits for introduction to, and adoption by the Public.
I am,
Sir,
Your obedient Servant
