My Lord,

granted to the Royal Marines stationed at San Juan.
2. I add a report furnished by Mr Young, late Colonial
Secretary of Vancouver Island upon the subject.
Minutes by CO staff
Without that report it is impossible to form an opinion,
for Mr Watson's case rests very much on what he
says that
he heard from Mr Young. Therefore write to the Governor
to say that the copy of Mr Young's report has been
accidentally omitted and request that it may be forwarded
by the first opportunity?
