My Lord Duke
As the only remaining Commissioner for the N.W. American Colonies I
beg to ask of your Grace the favour of an order to the Agents for
Crown Colonies directing them to take charge of certain small
packages placed in my care for Vancouver & British Columbia.
The packages consist of books of Awards, Illustrated Catalogues,
Medals & similar articles for the Executive Committees
at Victoria and N. Westminster.
I have
no public funds out of which to defray the cost of
transmission and I therefore venture to hope that you will sanction
that expense being charged by the agents to the two Governments.
