Lugard to Rogers (Permanent Under-Secretary)

I am directed by the Secretary of State for War to transmit to you, for the consideration of the Duke of Newcastle, the enclosed copy
of a letter from Captain Cochrane in which he requests to be informed whether any and if so what advantages in the purchase of Land in British Columbia are accorded to Officers who may retire from the Army for the purpose of settling
in that Colony.

Sir George Lewis will be glad to be informed of the answer
which should be returned to this application.
