Pemberton to Newcastle

Referring to my letter to your Grace of the 6 August 63, stating in
relation to the projected improvements in Victoria Harbor, the
necessity of engaging working Engineers in this Country to construct
in the Colony the Machines now being built at Limehouse and to work
them afterward—stating also, that I have no written instructions
authorizing me to enter into engagements which will entail an expense
of £600 a year on the Colony—referring also to Your Grace's reply of
the 13h August 63—I have the honor to suggest as follows, viz. That
the Governor elect now in London, shall be authorized by Your Grace
to inquire into and to sanction or otherwise the contemplated
appointments.
