Sargeaunt to Herbert (Assistant Under-Secretary)

I have the honor to apply for the Earl of Kimberley's authority
for complying with a Requisition, received at this office from
the Government of British Columbia, for a supply of Stationery
at a cost of £275.6.8, exclusive of freight and incidental
charges.

The British Columbia account with this Department shows a
balance of about £800 in hand.
