Chadwick to Newcastle

I take the liberty [to] say that I shall feel very greatly obliged to
your Grace if you will be so kind as to forward to me any information
relative to the [tenure and letting?] of land, the system of licensing
for mining [and] trading, the selling of land also, as well too if
there be a Government Assaying establishment [at] Victoria Vancouver's Island for British Columbia [one word off microfilm], and a mint, and
[if] I be [thrusting?] too
much on you to ask this, if you will then be so kind to state where
the information desired is to be got and if in Parliamentary Papers
where they can be Sought. I do not know (except from some doubtful
books) where I can apply except to your office and therefore I have
ventured to write to your Grace.
