Maunsell to Assistant Secretary of State

The Militia Barracks
Hampstead N.W.

8th July 1870

Sir,

On behalf of the widow of the late Governor of British Columbia I have the honor to ask that the Earl of Kimberley will move the Lords Commissoners of Her Majesty's Treasury to direct the Commissioners of Customs to afford the usual privileges in the passing of eleven cases addressed to Messrs Bushby & Lee, St. Peter'sChambers

Chambers, Cornhill, marked "F.S." which have arrived in London from Victoria, British Columbia by the ship "Prince of Wales."

These cases contain the personal effects of the late Governor Seymour and were packed in the Colony under my supervision.

I am,
Sir,
Your most obedient Servant
D.C. Maunsell
Private Secretary to the late Govr Seymour

The Assistant Secretary
of State for the Colonies
&c &c &c

Minutes by CO staff

Mr Herbert
To the Treasury—but shall it be accompanied by a recommendation in favor?

CC 11/7

I hardly know whether we are in a position to recommend. It might be said that Ld Kimberley is not aware of any reason why this privilege should not be granted.
