No. 38

I have the honor to forward a correspondence shewing that the
Bank of British Columbia intend to charge 18 per cent interest
on our overdrawn account.

2. It would be a very great assistance to us if Her Majestys
Government could in any way enable us to close our account with
the Bank and relieve ourselves, from the payment of the usurious
rate of interest now charged.

3. I enclose a return which will shew the efforts we are making
to get clear of the Bank.
