In reply to your letter of the
4th instant, I have the honor to
acquaint you for the information of His Grace the
Duke of Newcastle
that the sum of £250 paid to M
r Pemberton in
February 1861, was
covered by remittance of £300 received in a letter of which the
enclosed is a copy.
I may add that the account with the Colony is at this moment overpaid
to the extent of £178.
