Separate

I have the honor to forward herewith the accompanying
communication received by me through a deputation from
the inhabitants of British Columbia, for transmission to Your Grace.

2. As it relates exclusively to the character of my
administration in British Columbia, it is unnecessary for
me to make any observations with reference to it, except
to remark that I truly appreciate the kindness and good
will which prompted the Colonists to come forward
so spontaneously to bear their testimony to my humble
efforts faithfully to discharge the trust reposed in me by my Sovereign.
