Trevor to Under-Secretary of State

I am directed by the Board of Trade to acknowledge your letter
of the 20th instant, Enclosing a copy of a Despatch from the
Governor of British Columbia explaining an alleged omission on
the part of the Crown Agents to Supply the whole of the Stores
for the Lighthouses (in Vancouvers Island) included in a certain
Requisition made in April 1865 and also forwarding a requisition
for the Supply of Lighthouse Stores.

In reply I am to request that you will move His Grace the Duke
of Buckingham & Chandos to cause this Board to be informed
whether the Crown Agents will be directed to pay the Expenses
incurred in Supplying the articles named in the Requisition now
transmitted.
