With reference to Your Lordship's communication made to me through Mr MerivalMerivale under the date of the 13th March last,
and to the various interviews with which you have favoured me since that
time, I have the honour to transmit to you herewith, for Your Lordship's
approval, the draft of the Grant of Vancouver's Island to the Hudson's Bay Company in the form in which it has been settled under your
directions by Mr MerivalMerivale and the Company's Solicitors.
