I am directed by the Lord Commissioners of Her Majesty's
Treasury to state, for the information of the
Duke of Buckingham &
Chandos, with reference to your letter of the
21st Inst, that
My Lords concur with His Grace in opinion that there is no longer
any need for separate Accounts being kept by the Crown Agents for
the Colonies, for
Vancouver Island &
British Columbia, and that
the two should be therefore amalgamated.
