Mr Blackwood
Forward the demand in respect to the "Satellite" to the Foreign Office and tell the Admiralty that we have done so, stating in both letters that we do so as we presume that this must have been a supply for the use of [the] Boundary Comrs.

Tell the Governor of the Falklands that we have been placed in possession of the receipt of the Colonial Secretary for this supply of which the cost amounts to £15.2.3, and instruct him to remit the money forthwith to this Country, in order that the same may be paid to the Naval Dept.

For drafts.
