19th December 1867 Sir,

I transmit to you herewith a letter and enclosures received from the Colonial Secretary of British Columbia making requisition for Stationery for the use of the Government of that Colony.

The Stationery has been supplied through H.M. Stationery Office at a cost of £403.4.6 exclusive of freight, insurance and incidental charges, and I have now the honor to apply for His Grace's Sanction for incurring that Expenditure.

The sanction of the Secretaryof of State should have been obtained before the Requisition was sent on to H.M. Stationery Office, the ommission to do so was an oversight which the Crown Agents regret.

The British Columbia Account has at present a credit of £1350 besides Bills for £5000, maturing shortly, and though the liabilities are more than these assets, the account as regards this Office is in a more satisfactory state than it has been for some years past.

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