Berens to Lytton

In compliance with your request, as conveyed to me in Mr Merivale's letter of the 4th September, on the subject of the
compensation due to the Hudson's Bay Company for expenses
incurred by them in connection with the colonization of
Vancouver's Island, I have now the honour to transmit an amended
account of the Sums claimed by the Company under that head,
drawn up in Strict conformity with the principle laid down by
the Earl of Carnarvon in his letter of the 28th of July last.
