No. 32

I have received with much gratification your Grace's despatch No 18
of the 6th April conveying to me your approval of the agreement
which I have entered into with Mr Stamp to facilitate the
establishment of a settlement on the Western Coast of Vancouver Island.

Mr Stamp has already fixed upon a site for his future operations and
has selected the land he will require, which he finds will amount to
about seven thousand, instead of fifteen thousand acres, and so soon
as his first Vessel arrives (already on her way from England) he will
commence active operations in prosecution of his projected scheme.
