Trevor to Under-Secretary of State

I am directed by the Board of Trade to acknowledge your letter
of the 13th Ultimo stating that a Requisition for Lighthouse
stores for Vancouver's Island, made in April 1865 has only been
partially complied with, and in reply to refer you, for the information
of His Grace the Duke of Buckingham and Chandos, to the letter from
this Department of the 28th August 1865 forwarding a Bill of Lading
for Stores shipped in the "Severn;" 500 galls. of oil, and the stores
included in the requisition to the Crown Agents, which was transmitted
to this Board in the letter from the Colonial Office of the 15th

"Severn" and entered on the Bill of lading. I am to add that this
Board are not aware that any portion of the requisition was not
complied with.
