Berens informs Newcastle that the HBC agrees that it is not entitled to collect a ten percent commission on land sales on Vancouver Island from the time when by the payment of the agreed sum for this Company's expenditure on the Island the Government became entitled to a reconveyance of it. The Colonial Office, sensing a potential disagreement, recommends the letter be forwarded to Murdoch at once.

I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of Mr Under-Secretary Elliot's letter of the 22nd ultimo, on the subject of the Per Centage of 10 Per Cent reserved to this Company by the Grant of Vancouvers Island, upon all sales that might be effected by the Company and I beg to signify my entire concurrence that the Company's right to that Per Centage should be consideredat at an end from the time when by the payment of the agreed sum for this Company's expenditure on the Island the Government became entitled to a reconveyance of it.

I believe that sales have been made under the authority given by this Company to Governor Douglas with the particulars of which we are not acquainted but upon which if made before the payment to this Company of their advances I presume the Per Centage will be payable.

I have the honor to be, My Lord Duke, Your Grace's most obedient humble Servant, H.H. Berens GovrGovernor
Sir F. Rogers Explanatory instructions should be addressed to the GovrGovernor but Mr Murdoch had better first see this letter with reference to the last sentence? VJ 4 Decr
