Scott to Newcastle

I beg to direct your attention to a letter written by me on
the 12th June last and your Lordships kind and courteous reply
of the 21st June, relative to the property of the late James
Duffy of the "Royal Engineers" who was frozen to death in "British
Columbia" on the 9th January 1861.

I beg now to ask your Lordship if you have yet received from
the Governor of British Columbia the particulars of the property
referred to and such general information as may be of use to his
mother Widow Alice Duffy.
