No. 66

I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your despatch No. 35 of the 2nd of May, and to acquaint you that the Lord Commissioners
of the Treasury have directed the acceptance and payment of the Bill for £430 drawn by the Colonial Treasurer on account of the Lighthouses in Fucas Straits.

One moiety of this additional payment as in the case of the rest
of the cost of the Lighthouses must be defrayed from Colonial funds;
and I should be glad to be informed of the arrangements which may have
been made by your Government for the discharge of this debt.
