Booth to Under-Secretary of State
Referring to your letter of the 23d Febry last transmitting copy of
a Despatch from the Governor of Vancouver's Island requesting to be
supplied with three sets of Copper Measures and also with certain
Meteorological Instruments for the use of the Lighthouses in that
Colony, I am directed by the Lords of the Committee of Privy Council
for Trade to acquaint you for the information of Mr Secretary
Cardwell that these articles have been forwarded in the "Countess of
Fife" which Ship sails for Victoria on the 24th Instant.
I am to request that the enclosed Bill of Lading may be forwarded to
the Governor by the next Mail.
