Despatch to London. Minutes (2).

No. 4

21st December 1866

My Lord,

I have had the honor to receive Your Lordship's despatch No. 15 of the 31st Octr placing on record some of the motives by which Her Majesty's Government were actuated in effecting thecomplete

complete Union of Vancouver Island with British Columbia.

2. I have forwarded a copy of Your Lordships despatch to the late Speaker of the House of Assembly and have caused it to be inserted in the Gazette. I consider it calculated to effect much good in calming local irritation. Vancouver Island is now in a state of great depression but I believe that most persons are sanguine as to the future of the UnitedColony

Colony.
