No. 15

I have the honor to forward a memorial to Your Grace agreed upon
at a Public Meeting held at New Westminster protesting against
certain statements respecting the town and the approach to it by
sea said to have been made by Captain Richards R.N. Hydrographer to
the Admiralty.

2. I cannot exactly see why Your Grace should have been
addressed on the subject. It is certainly difficult to
reconcile Captain Richards' official and unofficial Statements
regarding the navigation of the Fraser. If irreconcilable, I should
be disposed to lean to those for which he is officially responsible.
