Hamilton to Rogers (Permanent Under-Secretary)

With reference to former correspondence on the subject of the
examination of the Accounts of the Hudson's Bay Company in respect of
Vancouver's Island, I am desired by the Lords Commissioners of Her
Majestys Treasury to transmit to you the enclosed copy of a Report on
this subject from Mr Andoe, dated 14 Ultimo.

I am to request that you will move the Duke of Newcastle, if he shall
concur in the views and opinions expressed in that Report, to
communicate with the Hudson's Bay Company; and I am to state that
Their Lordships will be ready to consider any arrangement that may be
proposed for the final settlement of the claims of the Company.
