I have the honor to transmit to you for the information
               of the 
Duke of Newcastle copy of a letter from the Colonial
               Secretary of 
British Columbia advising the Crown Agents for
               the Colonies of his having drawn a further sum of £5,000
               on account of the £50,000 Loan of 
1863 and I have to request
               that you will furnish me with His Grace's authority for
               accepting the Bill for the same.
