No. 35

I have the honor to transmit to you the enclosed Copy of a
Communication which was addressed by direction of the Secretary of State
for War to the Governor of British Columbia on the 29th of January last
requesting certain information relating to the accounts for the pay and
subsistence of the detachment of Royal Engineers lately serving in the
Colony.

Earl de Grey has informed me that no reply has yet been received to
this communication. I have therefore to request that you will furnish
me with a report on the subject.
