Despatch from London. Other documents (1).
No. 89
21 October 1868
Sir,
I have the honor to transmit to you a Copy of a letter from Mr. Sproat with a Copy of a Memorial signed by himself and other Merchants and Companies interested in the Colony, praying that I will endeavour to secure that in case of its renewal the provisions of the ReciprocityTreatyManuscript image Treaty shall be extended to British Columbia.
I transmit to you a Copy of the reply which has been returned to the Memorialists, and have to request you to furnish me with a report upon the subject.
I think it necessary to point out that if any relaxation of the Tariff should be made in favour of the United States, existing Treaties require that the same advantage should be extended to other Countries.
I have the honor to be
Sir,
Your most obedient humble Servant
Buckingham & Chandos
