Moody to Under-Secretary of State

The Secretary of State was good enough to sanction
£300.0s.0d
being granted towards defraying the expenses of three officers
wives accompanying the Expedition to B. Columbia. Captain Grant
received 100.0.0 for Mrs Grant. I shall feel obliged by 100.0.0
being now placed to my credit at Messrs Cox & Co in aid of Mrs Moody's passage.

This will leave an unexpended balance of 100.0.0 for this
Service.
