In his letter to the Chief Commissioner of Police Inspector Chomley from the Superintendents Office in Beechworth recommends that a reward of 100 be offered for information leading to the apprehension of Edward Kelly. Dated 25 April 1878, the letter is in response to the notice placed in the Victorian Police Gazette (17 April 1878) in which Edward Kelly is charged with shooting Constable Alexander Fitzpatrick. The annotations made over the page by Acting Chief Commissioner Nicolson are a response to Chomleys recommendation, and the second set of annotations are a confirmation from Chomley that he received the letter and Nicolsons response.
