Hawes to Merivale (Permanent Under-Secretary)

With reference to the War Office letter of the 26th March last,
regarding the non-production of Vouchers in support of an expense
incurred in the erection of Buildings for the North American Boundary
expedition at Vancouvers Island, I am directed by Mr Secretary
Herbert to request that you will acquaint me whether the Vouchers in
question have yet been forwarded by Governor Douglas.
