Wayman to Rogers (Permanent Under-Secretary)

A Client of mine here Mr Charles Vinter Tailor & Robemaker
has a claim of £30-9 against G.H. Cary Esq Consul British
Columbia which has now been standing for a long period. A principal
portion of the Account being incurred for his Court Dress on his
Presentation at Court. Application has been made to him but no reply
received. I have ventured to trouble you to ascertain if it is
within the province of the Colonial Office to assist my Client in the
recovery of this debt by a notification from you to Mr Cary or
otherwise.

Apologizing for being so venturesome,
