I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of Lord Desart's
letter of the 27th Ultimo, transmitting to me, for the information of
the Hudson's Bay Company, the copy of a Despatch from the Governor of
Vancouver's Island, reporting the result of a canoe Expedition which he
had made along the East Coast of the Island; and I have to express the
thanks of the Governor and Committee for the communication of this
information.
