As My Lords are unable to settle the Accounts for the erection of
these Lighthouses without the final Accounts from Vancouver's Island,
I am to request that you will move His Grace the Duke of Newcastle to
instruct the Governor to cause them to be transmitted to this
Department as soon as possible.
