I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of Your Grace's
Despatch N 1 of the
23 June last, respecting an application
which I received from
Colonel Moody for an allowance to
defraydefray the
cost of his passage to
British Columbia, and stating in reply to
that application that you cannot, for various reasons mentioned in
your Despatch, feel at liberty to comply with it, and I will not
fail in obedience to Your Grace's instructions, to inform him of
your decision.
