Morgan to Adderley (Parliamentary Under-Secretary)

I beg to acknowledge the receipt of Your letter of 15th
inst informing me that His Grace The Duke of Buckingham & Chandos
would be pleased to forward to the Governor of New Columbia, the
Horse Guards Certificate of my son's services, requesting him to take
the necessary steps to enable him (Lieut Morgan) to obtain the
advantages in point of purchase of land to which the regulations
entitled him.

I beg to observe that at the time of my sons leaving he had not
decided in which of these Colonies of Vancouver or British Columbia
he would finally settle, but he was more strongly disposed to a
location in Vancouver.

If after his arrival, he should make that selection, which I
think most likely I hope it will not be deemed by his Grace The Duke
of Buckingham & Chandos incompatible to comply with his wishes.
