3 October 1860 Sir,

I am directed by the Secretary of State to transmit to you the enclosed copy of a letter from the Admiralty respecting the accounts for the Shipment and delivery of stores sent to British Columbia in the "Thames City," and I am desired to instruct you to communicate a copy of the same to Colonel Moody.

I have the honor to be Sir Your Obedient Servant C. Fortescue
Richards to Merivale, 19 September 1860, informing him that, with regards to the Colonial Office stores sent to British Columbia aboard Thames City, due to the very irregular manner in which the shipment and delivery of these stores were arranged by Colonel Moody, considerable difficulty has been experienced in the investigation of the claim.
