Norman to Elliot (Assistant Under-Secretary)

I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your letter, in reply
to my communication of the 27th ultimo,
concerning George Cook a Government servant in
Vancouver's Island; which you are pleased to
send me by the direction of the Duke of Newcastle.

I am extremely obliged to his Grace for the full and satisfactory
information that it contains; and have lost no time in forwarding
your letter to my neighbour, by whom I need not say that it will be
received with grateful thanks.
