I have the honor to transmit to you a copy of a letter from
Mr.
Young, the Colonial Secretary of
Vancouver Island, requesting that in
issuing his 1/2 salary during the period of his leave of absence, his
full pay may be
calculated calculated at the rate of £600 instead of £500 per
annum. I also enclose a copy of the reply which I have directed to be
returned to
Mr. Young, and I have instructed the
Crown Agents to furnish
you with a statement of the whole amount paid to the Colonial Secy
during his stay in this country.
