Separate

I have the honor to inform Your Grace that I have returned for a
time to New Westminster, the old capital of British Columbia.
Although I have decided the question of the Seat of Government
in favor of Victoria, I found no signs of bad feeling here. On
the contrary, mixing freely with the people, I have been
everywhere well received.

2. Your Grace will be pleased to learn that this town, though
suffering of course from the loss of the Public expenditure
consequent on the change is not so depressed as I anticipated.
The people have accepted the new state of things with their
usual energy and made arrangements to meet it.
