I have the honour to thank Your Grace for the Statement forwarded to
me in your Despatch No: 24 of the 11th June exhibiting the account
between the Agents General for Crown Colonies and the Government of
Vancouver Island.
2. I have duly noted Your Grace's remarks as to the extent to which
Bills may be drawn upon the Agents General for the Balance of the
Loan, and I beg to assure Your Grace that I will take care the sums
drawn are within the amount held to the credit of the Colony.
I have the honor to be,
My Lord Duke,
Your Graces
Obedient humble Servant James Douglas
