I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your Letter
of the 24th Instant transmitting a copy of a Despatch from
the Governor of British Columbia to the Earl of Carnarvon
dated New Westminster 2 February 1867 on the subject of the sale of
spirituous liquors to the Indians, and I have to request that you will
convey to His Grace the Duke of Buckingham and Chandos the thanks of
the Committee of the Hudson's Bay Company for the communication.
