21 May 1860 Sir,

Colonel Moody, the commanding Royal Engineer in British Columbia, having reported that the Provisions furnished by the Owners of the Thames City fell short during the voyage from this Country to that Colony, and that in consequence some of the provisions shipped on Government account were used for the subsistence of the detachment of Royal Engineers embarked on board her, I am commanded by My Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty to request you will state to the Secretary of State for the Colonies that the value of the Articles so consumed will be charged against the freight of the Thames City, as as shewn below, * and that a corresponding credit will be allowed to the Colonial Office when a claim is preferred by this Department for Stores supplied for Colonial Service.

I am etc. W.G. Romaine
