Sargeaunt to Elliot (Assistant Under-Secretary)

I have to acquaint you, for the information of Mr
Secretary Cardwell, that, pursuant to the directions conveyed
in your letter of the 31st ultimo, the Crown Agents paid
to the credit of Naval Funds on the 7th instant the
sums of £3.9.8, £1.11.3 and £69.18.2 on account of the
Government of British Columbia.

The latter mentioned sum would have been paid on an
earlier date, but the Crown Agents had a difficulty in
obtaining the necessary Receivable Order from the Paymaster
General's Department.
