Nind to Newcastle

I have the honour to report to your Grace that I have arrived
in England from the Colony of British Columbia having obtained
leave of absence for nine months on account of ill health, and
that I have delivered at the Colonial Office in Downing Street the
Duplicate of a Despatch from the Governor of British Columbia in
reference thereto.

Having been informed by the Colonial Secretary of British Columbia that I could draw my half salary whilst in England I have
the honour to request to be informed what steps are necessary for
me to take with a view to obtain the same.
