No. 55, Military

Adverting to your Despatch of the 7th September 1859 No
20 respecting the sums drawn from the Imperial Treasury to

liquidate the Regimental Pay due to the detachment of Royal
Engineers in British Columbia I have the honor to enclose
herewith to your Grace copy of a letter from the Colonial
Treasurer dated 30th May containing a statement of the
amounts drawn and issued up to date upon that account and
requesting authority

to obtain the sum of One thousand Pounds (£1000)
to cover the present excess of issue over drafts. I have
therefore authorised the Treasurer to draw for the said sum
in the usual manner for this service, and I request your
Grace will be pleased to obtain the necessary authority from
the Lords Commissoners of the Treasury for the Bills presented
on this account

to be paid when they become due.
