Pelly writes Hawes to acknowledge Hawes's earlier letter, and accompanying despatch, both of which discuss the appointment
of Blanshard as Governor of Vancouver Island.
I beg to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 20th
Instant, accompanying a Copy of a Despatch with its enclosure from the
Governor of Vancouvers Island to Earl Grey, and stating that his
Lordship proposes to confirm the appointment of Mr Helmken as
Magistrate for Fort Rupert and the adjacent district, for which
communications I have to request that you will convey my best thanks to Earl Grey.
