Moody to Under-Secretary of State

I do not know, whether it may be in the power of any
department to furnish the enclosed list of Parliamentary Blue Books
for H.M. Service in British Columbia, but I beg to submit that if
such a boon could be granted, it would be of very great service
in the Colony. Much useful information could be extracted from
them, which would be of material assistance, and they would form
the commencement of a Legislative Council Library.

Possibly they could be supplied on the Secretary of State's
order, from Her Majesty's Stationery Office.

They should be packed in a box addressed to me "B. Columbia"
per Euphrates immediate and sent to the care of Richard
Eaton Esq. Military Store Keeper, Tower.
