Milton to Secretary of State 875, CO 60/31, p. 103; received 28 January
War Office, Pall Mall, S.W.
26th Jany 1867 Sir

I have to acquaint you that this Office has a claim of the following amount, on account of Stores supplied for service of Artillery Volunteers, British Columbia 19th & 20th December 1866 amounting to £141.1.3.

And I am directed by the Secretary of State for War to request that you will notify to me your acquiescence or otherwise, in the correctness of the Claim, on the receipt of which the Paymaster-General will be authorized to receive the proper amount of such Claim.

And notice will then be given to you to make the payment accordingly.

I have the honor to be, Sir, Your most obedient ,Servant J. Milton
Mr Elliot This is the bill for articles supplied to B.C. in pursuance of the Acting Governor's requisition on the 13 July last. The bill did not seem to me to correspond with the requisition, so a private inquiry was made to the W.O. & a note from a Mr Purbrick has been recdreceived wh. I annex by way of explanation. I must say that I think the Official Letter from the W.O. ought to have entered more fully into the subject—I mean as to what articles had not been supplied. Probably the Authorities will understand the matter better than I did, & I hope will pay the bill. Refer to Governor requesting payment. ABd 4 Feby
At once. TFE 4 Feby
