Hamilton to Elliot (Assistant Under-Secretary)

I am commanded by the Lords Commissioners of Her Majesty's
Treasury to acquaint you that the Paymaster General has been
authorized to accept & pay a Bill drawn by W.D. Gosset Esqre
by command of the Governor of British Columbia for the sum of £250.

The Bills drawn cannot be identified with the sums which the
Governor advises the Secretary of State. That cannot be done
till accounts are received.
