No. 61

I have to acknowledge the receipt of your Despatch No. 9 of the
7th of February last on the subject of the intended sale by the
Hudson's Bay Company of the Water frontage of the City of Victoria.

I enclose for your information a copy of a letter which I caused
to be addressed to the Governor of the Company together with a copy of
Mr. Berens' reply from which you will learn that directions have been
sent to the Company's Agent at Victoria to suspend the sale of the Land
in question.
