Kennedy to Carnarvon
December 10h 1866
My Lord
I had the honor to reporting my arrival from Vancouver Island on
the 8h inst, and I have now to request Your Lordship will have the
kindness to authorise the payment of the usual passage allowance
from that colony; a sum which I may be permitted to state will fall

establishment,and
and conveying my family a distance of nine thousand
miles over (I believe) the most expensive Route in the World.
