Mr Elliot I suppose that these articles must be ordered. But as we have no funds at our disposal here out of which such payments can be met I should recommend that the Governor be instructed to provide us with the means of defraying the Expenditure on all occasions on which he may employ this Office to procure goods for B. Columbia service. ABd 31/1/61
Tell the Agents first to furnish an Estimate of the Cost. Draft may be prepared. TFE 31/1
