No. 36, Miscellaneous

I have the honor to acknowledge receipt of your Grace's
Despatch No 126 of the 29th May, forwarding an Extract from
a Report of the Colonial Land and Emigration Commissioners on the
subject of a Company which has been recently formed for the purpose of
transporting Emigrants through Canada overland to British Columbia.

2. I have to thank your Grace for these papers and I will
not fail to ascertain whether the Company carry out their
engagements with good faith, in respect of the party of Emigrants
which they were about to forward.

3. I have been informed that the three names appearing
amongst the Board of Directors, as Residents of Vancouver Island,
were inserted without the permission of the parties themselves,
or indeed, without any knowledge on their part of the existence
of the Company in question.
