No. 28

The Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty have informed me that the
sum of £10.4.0 is due to the Commander of Her Majesty's ship
"Sparrowhawk" on account of expenses incurred in the entertainment of
yourself three ladies and two Servants on the occasion of your visit to
New Westminster in April last, reported in your Despatch No. 27 of the
14th of that month.

I have to request that you will take the necessary steps for the
repayment of this amount to the credit of Naval Funds in the hands of
the Paymaster General.
