Bates to Adderley (Parliamentary Under-Secretary)

I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of copy of a paper
which you have sent by the direction of His Grace the Duke of
Buckingham and Chandos, on the subject of a Coach Road in
British Columbia. The document shall be laid, at their next
meeting, before the President and Council of this Society, who
will authorize me to convey through you their thanks to His
Grace for this donation.
