I have the honor to transmit to you for the information
of the
Duke of Newcastle copy of a letter from the Colonial
Secretary of
British Columbia advising the
Crown Agents for
the Colonies of his having drawn a further sum of £5,000
on account of the £50,000 Loan of
1863 and I have to request
that you will furnish me with His Grace's authority for
accepting the Bill for the same.
