Sir,
I have the honour to request that the sum of
£3400.0s.0d
may be placed to my credit at Messrs Cox & Co. to defray the
remaining expenses on acct of authorized stores obtained by me.
I would respectfully solicit that this may be done as early
as possible as it is of the greatest importance I should complete
the payments and forward the accounts and Vouchers before I leave
England. I sail from Liverpool on Saturday morning next.

My dear Sir
At last we have all the accounts "in," & I hasten to send the
request for the Imprest to defray. I would entreat that this be
passed on as quickly as possible as I am most anxious to square up
all with the
vouchers (the most important part of the story) before I leave
England. The above is to defray expense of stores authorizedby
by
Secretary of State and which have been shipped off to B. Columbia.
