To The Right Honourable
The Secretary of State for the Colonies
My Lord,
Having been informed that Mr Musgrave, Governor of
Newfoundland, is a candidate for the Governorship of British
Columbia, I respectfully beg leave to withdraw the application
which I made for that office.
Mr Musgrave's appointment, if I may be permitted to say so,
will give much satisfaction both in Canada and in British Columbia.
