Murdoch to Rogers (Permanent Under-Secretary)

I have the honour to enclose a copy of a letter we have received
from the Secretary of the Hudsons Bay Co requesting that they may
be furnished with a copy of the Draft Deed of Reconveyance of
Vancouver Island, in order that they may transmit it to the Board
of Management of the Company in the Colony.

2. Should Mr Cardwell see no objection to this application I
presume that we shall receive his sanction to supply the Company
with a copy of the Draft as they request.
