May I ask whether you could furnish me with a statement of the
total annual
exports from
Vancouver's Island, and
British Columbia,
expecially those of gold, for the last
few few years. This information
would be of great assistance to me, and, could you supply it, I
should feel myself really obliged.
A comparative statement of the annual imports would also be of much
service, and could it be furnished without much trouble, it would
confer on me a great favour.
