No. 3

I have the honor to acquaint you that the addresses of the
Legislative Council of Vancouver Island and of the House of Assembly to
the Prince of Wales upon the occasion of his marriage (which were
forwarded by your Predecessor in his despatch No. 43 of the 20th of
October last) have been duly laid before His Royal Highness, and that
His Royal Highness derived much satisfaction from the loyal and
affectionate sentiments which they express.
