I am directed by Mr. Secretary Cardwell to transmit to you the Copy
of a Despatch which Governor Kennedy has addressed to him enclosing
Copies of a correspondence with yourself and others relative to a claim
upon British Columbia for repayment of a moiety of the cost of
maintaining the Race Rock and Fisgard Island Light Houses.

As you have, apparently, not had an opportunity of seeing some of
this correspondence Mr. Cardwell wishes that you would be so good as to
peruse the papers I now enclose and furnish him with your report upon
the claim to which they refer.
