If the Duke should defer to the objections which Coll
Moody has to offer to the selection of Captn Luard, it will
perhaps be enough briefly to answer this letter, that on
further consideration the Duke of Newcastle has given up the
intention of offering the appointment of Surveyor General in
B. Columbia to Captn Luard.
