Sir,
I have the honour to enclose a copy of a letter from Mr
Stanford of Charing Cross containing an offer for the engraving
and printing of the general map of British Columbia compiled in
the Lands and Works Office of the Colony, and which I brought
home for publication.
Authority has been received by the Crown Agents for an
Expenditure of ($500) five hundred dollars on this account, and
as the terms proposed by Mr Stanford, vizt to supply (500) five
hundred copies for (£100) one hundred pounds, and any further
number at (£3) three poundsper
per hundred retaining the right to
print and sell on his own account whatever further copies may
be required by the trade—appear to me very reasonable, I beg to
advise that I may be authorized to accept this offer, and that
the Crown Agents be instructed to receive and forward the (500)
five hundred copies of the map to British Columbia, and to pay
to Mr Stanford the sum of (£100) one hundred pounds on the due
completion of the work he undertakes to perform.

I should say that Mr Stanfords offer might be closed with—the only thing that occurs to me is that we should have some guarantee that future additions & corrections should be made when required & at the same price of 100 for £3.

I send you a photograph of the map which is 1/3d of the size of
the original.
