Smith to Elliot (Assistant Under-Secretary)

Referring you to the letter of this Bank dated 23rd Ulto and to His Grace the Duke of Newcastle's reply of the 25th Ulto, I beg respectfully to inquire if the Report has yet been received from Governor Douglas relative to the
acceptance of the tender of the Bank of British Columbia for the
whole amount of the Loan of £50,000 and when the Debentures will
be ready for delivery.
