The
Earl of Malmesbury having communicated to me certain Despatches
from Her Majesty's Minister at
Washington on the subject of
British
Columbia it has afforded me much satisfaction to observe through highly
favorable terms in which
Lord Napier mentions
M Nugent—the Special
Agent of the United States on the Pacific Coast—and I feel sure that
the friendly disposition towards this Country which his Lordship
represents this Gentleman to entertain, will be duly appreciated and
met by you in a similar
spirit.
