Good to Under-Secretary of State
Wimborne, Dorset
2 June 1871
Sir
I have the honor to request that the leave of absence granted me
may be extended from the 1st to the 20th of July.
Governor Musgrave in granting my leave fixed upon the 1st of
July as being the day on which British Columbia would probably
become part of the Dominion of Canada, and now that the 20th of
July has been decided on, I trust Lord Kimberley
will be pleased to sanction my
leave being extended to that date.
leave being extended to that date.
Such extension would be a great boon to me, as I have found it
impossible in the few weeks I have been in England to arrange
several matters of business about which I have come home.
