No. 67

I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your despatch No. 74
of the 4th of December last, reporting that Mr. Cox is prepared to make
an allowance to his Wife at the rate of £60 per annum, and informing me
of the sums which he had already sent to her on this account.

For the reasons which you have anticipated, the Crown Agents could
not conveniently be called upon to undertake the management of a private
business of this nature. But I appreciate Mr. Cox's anxiety to furnish
evidence that he sends his remittances punctually, and I have to point
out that this end can be attained by making them through the Bank of B.
Columbia, and furnishing to the Governor some certificate from the Bank
that this has been done.
