Colvile to Newcastle

I have the honour to transmit for your Grace's consideration, a
design for a Church calculated to accommodate about 550 persons which it
is proposed to erect in the district of Victoria Vancouvers' Island.

No estimate of the expense having been forwarded to me, I am not
able to inform your Grace what the building will cost, but as it is
intended that it shall be of wood, and of simple construction, it will
not be very expensive.

I am not aware that there is any person on the Island in a
condition to contract for such a structure, it will therefore in all
probability
have to be erected by the servants of the Hudson's Bay
Company, and should you approve of the design I propose to give
directions that every possible economy be observed in its execution.
