The convenience which has been afforded to several other
Colonies by the interchange of Money Orders with the Imperial
Post Office in Great Britain is not enjoyed by this Colony, as

extended to British Columbia, most probably because ithas
has not
been applied for. I am not aware of any objection to the
establishment of a system which has been found to work well, and
to afford great public accommodation in other places. And I
shall be glad if Your Lordship will submit my application to Her
Majesty's Postmaster General that the arrangement may be
extended to this Colony, and that the Post Office here may befurnished
furnished with the necessary forms and instructions.
