No. 41 NAC, RG7, G8C/12, p. 179 (CO 398/2, p. 326) 13 July 1865 Sir,

I duly received your despatch No. 22 of the 16th of March, in which you mention that Mr. Cooper, Chief Clerk in the Treasury, did not previously to leaving the Colony, deliver over any accounts and Vouchers as Treasurer of the Royal Columbia Hospital, and that he hadleft left a sum of 687 Dollars unaccounted for, and you therefore suggest that until he shall furnish an explanation, the Agents General should withhold his salary.

I have accordingly stopped the issue of his half salary, and I transmit to you, for your information a copy of a letter from him dated the 16th ultimo, and a copy of the reply which I have directed that he should receive.

I shall be very glad if Mr. Cooper's statement should prove satisfactory; but the subject isone one on which it is evidently impossible to come to any well grounded result in this Country, and I can do no more than forward the enclosed correspondence for your report.

I have the honor to be Sir, Your most obedient humble servant Edward Cardwell
