I have the honor to transmit to you, for your information, a copy
of a correspondence with the Board of Admiralty relative to the payment
of the sum of £500 appropriated by the government of British Columbia
towards the expense of the Survey of the Coast of the Colony, and I have
to instruct you to cause payment of the contribution in question to be
made to the Naval Department in the manner pointed out by the Admiralty.
