No. 11

I have to acknowledge the receipt of your despatches Nos. 19 and 28
of the 6th June and 22nd July reporting the irregularities which
had been discovered in the Custom House of Vancouvers Island and the
dismissal of Mr Charles A. Anderson from the Office of Collector on
the ground of carelessness and remissness in the management of his
Department.

I have no alternative except to approve your decision in this
matter, and the proceedings which are being taken against the person
suspected of having embezzled the public money.
