Berens to Newcastle

I have the honour of transmitting herewith a copy of a correspondence
which has taken place between Governor Douglas and A.G. Dallas
Esqre, the representative of the Hudson's Bay Company in
Vancouver's Island, on the subject of advances demanded by Governor Douglas from the Company in liquidation of the Civil expenses of the
Colony.

Your Grace will be pleased to observe that although Mr Dallas had
not received the copy of your Grace's letter to me of the 12th of
July which I sent to him by the first opportunity he steadily
resisted the importunities of Mr Douglas for further advances out of
the funds of the Hudson's Bay Company on Colonial Account.
