9 September 1863 Sir,

In accordance with the request of the Governor of British Columbia, expressed in the annexed copy of a letter from the Colonial Secretary of that Colony, a box containing specimens of Gold pieces was delivered in September 1862 to Dr Lindley who was informed (likewise in accordance with the Governor's request) that the CrownAgents Agents would defray any little expenses he might incur in procuring a suitable case for the security and safe custody of these coins.

At the close of the International Exhibition of 1862 Dr Lindley returned these coins and was paid the sum of £1.14.0 for expenses incurred by him.

The Commissioners of Audit having questioned this payment and called for the Secretary of State's authority for the same, I should be obliged if you would furnish me with the Duke of Newcastle's approval of this payment to Dr Lindley of the sum of £1.14.0.

I have the honor to be, Sir Your most Obedient Servant W.C. Sargeaunt
