Native Mounted Police Barracks
Euleutha 31st March 1863

Sir
I have the honor to forward
the enclosed letter from Doctor
Swift, which reached me this
day, reporting on the health of
2nd. Lieutenant Moorhead, who has
been laid up since the 1st ultimo
[Text underlined from 'who does not' until the end of the sentence]
and who does not - I believe intend
[Note in margin: 'x']
to resume his duties.

I am compelled to send
Mr Cadet Armstrong from here to
relieve Mr Moorhead on the
Maranoa River. I beg to call
your attention to the necessity
of detaching one or two officers
of some little experience to this
Division, as the rapid increase
of population in the Warrego West
Maranoa District, will obblige [sic]
me to send a section there
immediately.

The Commandant of the
Native Mounted Police
Head Quarters
Rockhampton

I have the honor to the
Sir
Your most obedt. Servant
FW Carr
Lieut 3rd Divn N.M.P.
