No. 1

I transmit to you a copy of a letter from the Foreign Office
enclosing a copy of a Note from the Belgian Minister requesting that a
document may be obtained from a person named Verheyden, supposed to be
at Victoria Vancouver Island, containing his consent to the marriage of
his daughter, or if he is dead that a Certificate of his death may be
procured.

I have to request you to endeavour to meet the wishes of the
Belgian Minister.
