With reference to your letter of the
11th
Instant,
I beg to acquaint you for the information of the Secretary of State, that
the "
Euphrates", having been surveyed and approved, has been accepted for
the conveyance to
Vancouver's Island of the party of non-commissioned
officers and their families therein referred to, together with such
Stores as the "
Briseis" may be unable to receive.
The "
Euphrates" will probably be ready to receive her passengers
about the Middle of
November, but a further communication will be made to
you as to the precise date at which they may embark.
