No. 111

I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your despatch No.
20 of the 4th of April enclosing an Address of Condolence to the Queen from the Legislative Assembly of Vancouver Island.

I have to request that you will acquaint them that their Address
has been duly laid before the Queen and that Her Majesty was pleased to
receive it very graciously, and derived much satisfaction from the
assurances of sympathy with Her and with the Royal Family expressed by
the Legislative Assembly.
