Paget to Under-Secretary of State

I am commanded by My Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty to transmit
to you a Copy of a Letter from Rear Adml Denman with Enclosures and
Plans from Colonel Foster on the Subject of his Pier in
Esquimalt Harbour. My Lords also direct me to enclose a report of the
Hydrographers on this matter & I am to request that the attention of
Mr Secretary Cardwell may be called to the subject, in order that
such steps as may be deemed advisable may be taken to obviate the
inconvenience which may arise as pointed out in the report of their
Lordships Hydrographer.
