Hammond to Under-Secretary of State

I am directed by Lord Stanley to request that you will inform
the Duke of Buckingham and Chandos that His Lordship
 communicated to the Prussian Ambassador the substance of the
information contained in your letter of the 10th of February
 last, respecting the property left by J.H.C. Baar in British
Columbia, and that a note has now been received from the chargé
d'affaires stating that his Government has directed him to
enquire, on behalf of Baar's relatives, whether Her Majesty's
Government could indicate a suitable person in the Colony to
whom the relatives could delegate the arrangement of the
property. I am to request that you will move His Grace to
enable Lord Stanley to return a reply to this application.
