Sargeaunt to Rogers (Permanent Under-Secretary)

Adverting to Mr Julyan's letter of the 1st instant on the subject of a second loan for British Columbia of £50,000
I have the honor to acquaint you for the information of His
Grace the Duke of Newcastle that the Colonial Secretary of
that Colony has drawn 2 Bills on the Agents General for £2000
and £5000 respectively dated 22 May last at 60 days sight.

The Debentures are being prepared, and, should His Grace
authorize the issue of them, will doubtless be sold in less
than two Months. I beg therefore to request that you will
furnish me with the necessary authority for accepting these two Bills.
