No. 61, Military

I have the honor to inform your Grace that I have authorized
the Treasurer to procure by Bills on Her Majesty's Paymaster General
the sum of Three Thousand Pounds (£3000), being in round

numbers
the amount required for the Colonial Pay of the Troops for the
quarter ending 30 June and to meet which there are no funds in
the Colonial Chest; and I trust your Grace will be pleased to
obtain the necessary authority from the Lords Commissioners of
the Treasury for the

Bills presented on this account to be paid,
when they become due.
