No. 57

I have to request that you will acquaint Captain Grant R.E. that
in consideration of the circumstances which he has represented to me in
a letter dated from Panama, the 15th
October,

I have sanctioned the payment to him of an additional sum of fifty pounds (£50) to defray the
expense of removing his family to British Columbia, and that the Lords
Commissoners of the Treasury have instructed the Paymaster General to
issue that amount to Messrs Cox & Co as Captain Grant's Agents.
