My Lord,
I have the honor to report that I intend to leave Victoria
tomorrow in Her Majesty's Ship "Sparrowhawk" for the purpose of
visiting Cowichan, Nanaimo, & Comox on the East Coast of
Vancouver Island, and Knight's Inlet and some other places on
the Coast of the Mainland. AtKnights
Knights Inlet there have been
some disputes between the Indian Tribe in that neighbourhood,
and a party engaged in endeavouring to open what is represented
as likely to be a very valuable mine of Copper Ore. And I hope
that my visit may terminate the misunderstanding. I shall
probably be absent from the Seat of Government about a
fortnight, but scarcely in any case more than three Weeks.
