Trevor states that the Board of Trade is not aware that any portion of … a Requisition for Lighthouse stores for Vancouver's Island, made in April 1865 … was not complied with and refers to a letter describing the stores being shipped on the Severn to Vancouver Island with the Bill of Lading. Robinson minutes that The Bill of Lading appears to have been sent out of the office in 1865 & no copy of it kept. Rogers’s minute discusses how to respond to the Board of Trade and whether to contact Seymour in British Columbia. Rogers further minutes that drafts regarding lighthouse stores have been annexed and the details of stores requested.

Board of Trade Whitehall
8th October 1867 Sir,

I am directed by the Board of Trade to acknowledge your letter of the 13th Ultimo stating that a Requisition for Lighthouse stores for Vancouver's Island, made in April 1865 has only been partially complied with, and in reply to refer you, for the information of His Grace the Duke of Buckingham and Chandos, to the letter from this Department of the 28th August 1865 forwarding a Bill of Lading for Stores shipped in the "Severn;" 500 galls. of oil, and the stores included in the requisition tothe the Crown Agents, which was transmitted to this Board in the letter from the Colonial Office of the 15th July 1865, were forwarded to the Governor of Vancouvers Island in the "Severn" and entered on the Bill of lading. I am to add that this Board are not aware that any portion of the requisition was not complied with.

I have the honor to be Sir Your most obedient Servant C. Cecil Trevor
Sir F Rogers See minutes on 8749. Inform Agents & Governor. The Bill of Lading appears to have been sent out of the office in 1865 & no copy of it kept. WR 9 Oct
Mr Robinson Yes. But the Bd of Trade shdshould first correct this letter. There is, I imagine some clerical error & I cannot make [grammar?] of it. Can the B. of T. give us a copy of the requisition & bill of lading. If they could, we might be able to see what was wanted witht referring back to B. Columbia.

The Col SectySecretary of B.C. shdshould have told the Crown Agents what was wanting & this shdshould be pointed out.

Draft reply, Buckingham to Seymour, No. 69, 12 October 1867 stating that the Board of Trade is “not aware that any portion of the requisition [for lighthouse supplies] was not complied with” and asking for “further information” from Seymour.
Sir F. Rogers I annex Dfts dealing with this matter. By minutes on 8749 you will see where there has been an oversight in the correspondence.

The requisition is on 6393 V.C.I. The Bill of Lading whwhich I have seen simply mentions "77 cans oil, 1 Case Stores, 2 Cases stained glass."
