No. 13

I have to acknowledge the receipt of your despatch No. 5 of the
14th of February, enclosing copy of a letter from Mr. Cameron, the Chief
Justice of Vancouver Island, in answer to the representations respecting
his career previously to his arrival in Vancouver Island which have been
made by Mr. E.E. Langford.

Mr. Cameron's letter appears to me very straightforward and
satisfactory.

I am not prepared at present to decide whether Mr. Cameron shall
retain permanently the Office of Chief Justice of Vancouver Island.
