I have the honor to inform you, for the information of
               His Grace the 
Duke of Newcastle, that a Bill of Exchange for
               £4000, at 60 days sight, drawn by the Governor of 
British
                  Columbia in favor of The 
Hudsons Bay Company, has been left
               at this office, and I have to request that you will furnish
               me with the 
Duke of Newcastle's authority for accepting the same.
