11 New Norcia May 9th 1911 The Chief Protector of Aborigines Perth Sir, In reply to yours re Complaint made by G. Shaw and Felix Jackamara I beg to submit the following weekly scale of rations supplied to natives on my relief list. Viz: 12 lbs flour @ 1¾ per lb (1/9) ¼ tea (4½) 3 lbs sugar @ 3½ (10½) and 1 lb meat (6) Total 3/6 per week each native Of course you are aware that you fixed the allowance per day at 6. I think myself that the rations are sufficient excepting the meat which is almost nothing. I received 6 Rugs 5 shirts 4 dresses 2 trousers and distributed the following. Felix Jackamara 1 rug 1 shirt & 1 trouser Susie Jackamara 1 rug & 1 dress. Dinah 1 rug 1 dress & 1 shirt. Sarah Narrier just 1 Rug & 1 dress Balance on hand. 2 Rugs 3 shirts and 1 dress I saw Jackamara about his complaint and he said that Shaw induced him to complain he said the rations were not enough for him self and his 4 children who are with him.
