Barfield to Buckingham

Referring to my letter of the 7th December last to the Earl
of Carnarvon, may I request the favor of being informed whether any
reply to his Lordship's Despatch to the Governor of Vancouver Island
on the subject of my communication has yet been received, and when it
will be in your Grace's power to afford me some information on behalf
of the parties interested in the Settlement of Koskeemo?
