I beg to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the
28th ult replying to my letter of the 24th ult, and
forwarding for my information, by permission of the Duke of
Newcastle, a Proclamation which regulates the disposal of
Crown-land in British Columbia.

Having made an abstract of this Proclamation, I herewith
return it, and beg to express my best thanks for the accommodation
afforded me.
