Barnard to Merivale (Permanent Under-Secretary)

I have the honor to transmit to you for the information of
Secretary Sir E.B. Lytton, the copy of a letter addressed to me
by direction of the Secretary of State for War respecting the
payment of the Pension of
Michael Kelcher, in Vancouver's Island
from the 1st of April next and the stopping of ten shillings
from the first issue of such Pension.

I am therefore to request that the necessary instructions may be
given for carrying into effect the wishes of Secretary Major
General Peel.
