Mr Elliot
I think you have made provision in yr Estimate for these provisions sent to B. Columbia.
ABd 2 July
There is an item for Stores, but the Estimate has not yet been voted. Answer that when that has taken place, payment will be ordered—and take some note of the case to ensure it's being attended to as soon as the Estimates are passed?
