I have the honour to acquaint you that I have authorised the Crown
Agents to accept two Bills Nos. 12 and 13 for five thousand pounds each,
referred to in a letter addressed to them by the Acting Colonial
Secretary of British Columbia dated the 20th March last.
These Bills have, however, arrivedwithout without advice to me, which
ought always to be given in such cases.
I have the honor to be
Sir,
Your most obedient
humble servant Edward Cardwell
