Memo, Barclay to Elliot (Assistant Under-Secretary)

Mr Barclay presents his Compts to Mr Elliot and begs to
acknowledge the receipt of his notes of yesterday and today, with the
package and despatch for the Governor of Vancouver's Isld, which
together with the despatch accompanying Mr Elliot's note of the
27th Ult, will be forwarded to their destination by a vessel about to
Sail for Port Victoria.

Mr Barclay has to add that all the Despatches for the Governor of
Vancrs Island which 
had been received at the HB House between the
4th February and the 4th August were forwarded by the "Colinda"
which sailed on the latter day.

Mr Barclay begs to suggest that in cases where urgency is
required in forwarding Despatches an intimation to that effect should be
given, so that they may be sent by Mail, as there is sometimes a long
interval between the departures of ships.
