No. 34
12th April 1870
My Lord,
I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt on the 10th
instant, of your despatches, of the numbers and dates noted in
the margin,
and to transmit the Schedules of those remaining unanswered.
Originals No. 9, 15 February, to No. 12, 21 February 1870; No.
13 and No. 14 not received; No. 16, 1 March, to No. 24, 10 March 1870.
Circulars 25, 25 and 28 February; 5, 7 and 8 March 1870.
Minutes by CO staff
Mr Cox

Mails were sent to British Columbia on the 22nd Feb (A), 26th
Feb (B), 5th March (C), 12th March (D).
I interpret these two
acknowledgements to mean that A, C, & D were all received on 10
April, but that
B had not been received at all;
it contained the duplicates of Nos 9, 10, 11, 12, & the
origs of 13, 14. If this is so Mr Musgrave has never
received Mr Julyan's scheme for funding the B.C. debt (which
was the enclosure to 13).

Mr Herbert
It would certainly appear that is so—but you will see from 4927 that Mr Musgrave has recd the duplicates (apparently) of No 13 & 14.
No 13 with Mr Julyans scheme would not have this
enclosure in duplicate which is the whole issue of the despatch—&
if Mr Musgrave had not recd the original despatch he would
have called attention to the circumstance when the duplicate was
recd without its enclosure. But send copy by next mail.
