I am directed by the Secretary of State for War to acknowledge
the receipt of your letter of
6 Instant and to acquaint you
in reply for the information of the
Duke of Buckingham &
Chandos that
Sir John Pakington has consented to the
postponement of the claim amounting to £141.1.3 for Stores
supplied by this Department for the Service of the Artillery
Volunteers in
British Columbia, until such time as the Colony
shall be in a position to liquidate it.
