This letter will be presented to you by Dr. David Walker who is
proceeding to B. Columbia.

Dr. Walker, who has been recommended to me by Sir J. Emerson Tennent, was Surgeon and Naturalist on
board the "Fox" during Sir E. McClintock's exploring expedition in search of the remains
of Sir John Franklin. He is now going out to B. Columbia to prosecute the study
of Natural History and to make collections in the Colony. I do not doubt that you will be happy to afford him any attention or assistance in your power.
