Elmsley to Under-Secretary of State

I have received the enclosed Memorial from my Nephew the
Revd David Pringle from Vancouver Island & agreeably to his
request I forward it to the Secretary of State for the Colonies.
The letter addressed to H. Merivale was I have reason to believe
addressed to him as the Under Secretary of the Colonial Office
& I have thought it right to forward it to you with the Memorial
& a letter

directed to the Duke of Newcastle. I should be
obliged to you if the receipt of these papers were acknowledged.
