Sir,
I have the honour to inform you that I had an interview on the
18th instant with Mr Stanford in reference to the paragraph of
your letter to me of the 17th instant directing me to obtain
from Mr Stanford a guarantee that future additions and
corrections of the Map of British Columbia the engraving and
printing of which he has offered to undertake on terms which you
have authorized me to accept, shall be made when required at his
cost, and have since
received from him a letter a copy of which
is herewith enclosed agreeing to make free of charge such
additions to the map as may be required during the next three or
four years.

Mr Stanford's proposal appears to me to secure to our Colony
all the advantages in this respect that could reasonably be
expected; but I await your further directions in the matter—as
Mr Stanford's letter now forwarded does not convey the full
guarantee prescribed in your letter of the 17th inst.
