Corry to Under-Secretary of State

I am commanded by my Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty to request
you will state to Secretary Sir Edward Lytton that in consequence of
the non delivery of the Admiralty letters & despatches of September &
October last, addressed to the Admiral at VanCouver's Island, and
forwarded by the Consul at Panama on board the United States Mail
Steam Packets, My Lords have ordered the Admiral to place himself in
communication with the Consul
*
and make suitable arrangements for the safe transmission of the Mails
of this Department, between Panama & Van Couver.
