Berens to Newcastle
11 August 1862
On the 4th July I had the honour of addressing your Grace with reference to the claims of the Hudson's Bay Company for their outlay
in the Colonization of Vancouver's Island, and in that Communication
I ventured to express a hope that Your Grace would be pleased to
direct the immediate payment of the £30,000 voted by the House of
Commons.
As more than a month has elapsed since that Communication, and as the
Claim is obviously increasing by the accruing interest, I trust that
I shall not be considered intrusive in requesting your Grace to
directthe
the payment of the said Amount.
