Abstract
Correspondence (private letter).
Minutes (2), Other documents (1).
Arbuckle regrets that his application for a position in British Columbia has been denied but hopes that CO will inform him of any opportunity “falling vacant
there.”

Sir,
I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your
letter of the 28th Instant informing me that there
is no situation vacant in British Columbia, to which the
Secretary of State could appoint me. May I beg that
you will kindly inform me, in case of any appointment
falling vacant there, I might look forward with sanguine
expectations of being employed there.
