Farrer to Under-Secretary of State

Referring to your letters of the 16th April 1864 and 23rd Febry
last, and also to the letters from this Department of the 6th
January and 18th May last, I am directed by the Lords of the
Committee of Privy Council for Trade, to transmit to you the enclosed
statement of Expenses incurred by the Board of Trade in respect of
the Lighthouses at Vancouvers Island amounting to £302.10.1, and to
request that you will move Mr Secretary Cardwell to cause the Crown
Agents for the Colonies to pay that sum to H.M. Paymaster General to
be credited to the vote for Lighthouses Abroad.
