Abstract

Kernaghan re-submits his references and hopes not to be overlooked for the position of the Secretary-ship for the new colony.

The minutes do not believe a secretary is wanted for British Columbia; the CO sends the usual answer.

My Lord

I beg to acknowledge the receipt of your Lordship's letter of 28th.

Having written to Sir Edw Bulwer Lytton on the 26th asking when he could receive a deputation of Members of Parliament & Canadian Merchants as well as referring him to a letter sent through the Irish Attorney General & one from Messrs. Gilmour Rankin & Co, I would fain hope that as I applied first to Lord Stanley & afterwards to Sir Edwd on his accession that I will not be overlooked in the Secretary-ship for the new Colony.

Rt. Hon J. Whitende MP.
