Berens to Newcastle
Hudson's Bay House
29 January 1861
I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of Mr
Elliott's letter of the 30th Ultimo, transmitting a copy of a Report received from Governor Douglas on the subject
of the complaints made by this Company on the operation of
the Proclamation issued by him for collecting the duties
on Imports into British Columbia.
I feel much obliged to your Grace for the trouble which
you have been good enough to take in this matter, and I shall
lose no time in forwarding the Report to the representatives
of the Company in Vancouvers Island from whom the complaint emanated.
