Separate

I have the honor to forward herewith to Your Grace an Address to Her
Most Gracious Majesty which has this day been placed in my hands on
behalf of the Inhabitants of Vancouver's Island.

2. Her Majesty's loyal Subjects in this Colony would desire in all
veneration to offer to their beloved Sovereign an expression of their
profound sympathy in this Her time of deepest sorrow.

3. I know not whether this proceeding be altogether appropriate at
such a season, but I feel that it will not be misunderstood; and I
fain would hope that it might prove a source of consolation to Her
Majesty, however slight, to know that the feelings and affections
which have already poured before Her so full a measure of condolence
and sympathy, are not confined to any one portion of Her realm, but
that those same feelings and affections exist even in this remote
corner of Her dominions, neither chilled by distance, nor enfeebled
by absence.
