Abstract

Correspondence (private letter). Minutes (5), Enclosures (untranscribed) (1), Other documents (1).

Trutch requests payment for maps of Oregon and Washington Territories he provided the Colonial Office.

The minutes regret that the one map they do have is of little use but Carnarvon supposes that the CO ought to pay for it.

Included in this document is a printed description of the map, including favourable comments upon it by R. I. Murchison, President of the Royal Geographical Society; and a draft from the Colonial Office to Trutch, 19 March 1859, forwarding payment for the maps and advising that no further copies would be required.

Trutch to Carnarvon (Parliamentary Under-Secretary)

11 Catherine Grove
Greenwich

March 7th 1859

My Lord,

Some three months ago I addressed a Letter to your Lordship respectfully soliciting an Order for a few of the Maps executed by my son of the Oregon Washington Territories with a portion of British Columbia, thinking that such Maps might be of interest & service to Heads of Departments of Govt; my letter not having been honored by any notice, I venture again to intrude on your Lordship respectfully requesting that should there be a refusal to purchase any more of the Maps, your Lordship will be pleased to give order for payment of the 2 Maps furnished to the Colonial Office in July last.

I have the honor to be, My Lord,
Your Lordship's obedient Servant,
William Trutch

To the Right Honble
The Earl of Carnarvon
