Colonial Despatches

Mr Cox

Mr Dealtry
I will have my papers collected & sent to you.

Mr Dealtry
The Papers have been collected and a list is annexed. Should Sir J. Young's despatch Confl of the 28th April be included & the confl drafts upon it—to Govr Canada & to Govr Seymour of 2 June/69.

Mr Cox
I assume that the papers furnished by your department are full & sufficient.

Sir F. Rogers
See accompanying list of the Papers.

Have them put in print.

Mr Cox
Yes. If you [thrye?] on what ought to be printed.

If there is any doubtful ones please to raise the question.

Sir F. Rogers
You will see ante that Mr Dealtry has raised a question whether Sir John Young's Confidential despatch 5524 & the answer to it & the despatch to the Gov: of B Columbia (Both 2 June) should be printed.

I should say that Extracts as I have marked them in pencil might be given, but Departmentally it would be convenient to have the whole in print first.

B. Columbia Despatches.

There may be a doubt about the whole of 10906 Separate of 24 Sept. 1867—but our despatch ackng the receipt of it (No 87 of 19 Nov. 67) & also acknowledging a Numbered one which has to be given.

539—B. Columbia. The only question is whether to give the whole or only extracts, i.e. only what refers to Confederation—the other questions being Representative Institutions—Retrenchment & Reciprocal Commerical Treaty with the U. States.

In the case of extracts I think it is best—unless entailing much unnecessary printing—that they should be made from a printed copy.

Mr Cox

Mr Joseph
Now put in print at once.
