I am directed by the Secretary of State for War to acknowledge
the receipt of your letter of
6th Instant and to acquaint you
in reply for the information of the
Duke of Buckingham &
Chandos that
Sir John Pakington has consented to the
postponement of the claim amounting to £141.1.3 for Stores
supplied by this Department for the Service of the Artillery
Volunteers in
British Columbia, until such time as the Colony
shall be in a position to liquidate it.
