Homer to Newcastle

At a Convention of delegates from various districts
in British Columbia, held at New Westminster from the 15th
to the 20th of February, A Memorial * was forwarded from them to Your Grace, through His Excellency Governor Douglas.

At the same time I was directed to transmit, a duplicate
Copy of the Memorial by Mail, as the members of the Convention
were desirous, that the wishes of the People of British Columbia
should be made known to Her Majesty's Government at as early a
period as possible.

I therefore beg leave most respectfully to Enclose a Copy
of the Memorial.
