A Client of mine here 
M Charles Vinter Tailor & Robemaker
               has a claim of £30-9 against 
G.H. Cary Esq Consul 
British
                  Columbia which has now been standing for a long period. A principal
               portion of the Account being incurred for his Court Dress on his
               Presentation at Court. Application has been made to him but no reply
               received. I have ventured to trouble you to ascertain if it is
               within the province of the 
Colonial Office to assist my Client in the
               recovery of this debt by a notification from you to 
M Cary or
               otherwise.
