Cox & Co. to Rogers (Permanent Under-Secretary)

With reference to Mr Elliot's letter of the 22nd
ultimo, we have the honor to state that, having made several
enquiries at the office of HM's Paymaster General for Colonel Moody's salary as Commissioner of Works, British Columbia, we are
informed that the Treasury Authority to issue the same for
December quarter 1861 has not been received by that department.

We beg, therefore, to request that you will be good enough to
cause the necessary directions to be issued in the usual manner.
