Lushington to Under-Secretary of State

I am commanded by my Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty to
transmit to you, for the information of the Secretary of State
for the Colonies, a copy of a letter, No 102 of the 22nd
Ultimo, from the Naval Commander in chief in the Pacific
reporting that he had placed HMS "Sparrowhawk" at the disposal
of the late Governor of British Columbia to convey him to San
Francisco.
