No. 26

I transmit to you a copy of a letter from the Board of Admiralty
requesting that the Naval Vote may be relieved of the charge imposed
upon it by the employment on board the "Sparrowhawk" of an interpreter
when that Vessel was sent to visit the Northern Part of Vancouvers
Island to make enquiries respecting murders which had been committed by
the Indians.

I have to instruct you to remit the amount to the Crown Agents for
payment to the Admiralty.
