My Lord,
I should feel exceedingly obliged if you would be kind enough to
inform me to whom I should apply for information concerning the fate
of one of my parishioners, Edward Pearson by name, who held a year
ago 30 acres of land under Her Majesty's Government at New
Westminster, British Columbia.
I imagine there is some officer of Government in that colony who
would probably be able to satisfy his friends as to whether he is
still alive.
Trusting that I am not too presuming in requesting the favour of
a reply from your Lordship's office.
