Kennedy to Newcastle

I cannot learn from any documents transmitted to the Colonial Office
what provision (if any) has been made for the Private Secretary of
the Governor of Vancouvers Island.

I need not point out to Your Grace the importance of having a
Gentleman (in the fullest sense of the term) to fill this office and
I should feel obliged for Your Grace's decision upon the amount of
salary I would be justified in offering a Gentleman to accompany me
in that capacity.
