Edelman & Co. to Lytton

We beg respectfully to enquire on behalf of ourselves and numerous
friends and constituents contemplating the formation of
mercantile establishments at Victoria and British Columbia, and
emigration thereto, with a view to Agricultural Pastoral or Mining
pursuits, whether grants or assignments of Lands in these Colonies
are subject to the same Rules & Regulations as are laid down for
the guidance of Emigrants to the Australian Colonies. Should such
not be the case may we beg that you will cause us to be informed,
under what conditions such grants are obtainable.
