No. 24

Sir,
Upon referring to the correspondence relating to the affairs of British Columbia in the year 1859, I find that two important letters received from the Treasury on some of the general principles connected with the establishment of an Assay Office or of a Mint were not at that date communicatedtoManuscript image to you, and as I think that the observations which they contain are such that they may at any time be useful to you in considering any questions which may arise in connection with those topics, I now transmit copies of them to you for your information, and in order that they may be placed amongsttheManuscript image the records of the Colony.
I have the honor to be
Sir
Your Obedient Servant
Newcastle
