Hawes to Under-Secretary of State

With reference to your letter of the 10th March 1859, relative to
the payment of the pension of the man named in the margin

*

in Vancouver's Island, I am directed by Mr Secretary Herbert to
inform you that Michael Kelcher has returned to this country and made
application for his pension to be paid to him at Liverpool, and I am
therefore to request that the Secretary of State for the Colonies
will be pleased to give instructions to the Governor of the Colony to
report the date to which this man's pension has been issued from the
Colonial Treasury.
