Cadell to Lytton
I am very desirous indeed, with the view of securing
immediate employment, to join Capt Parsons Compy leaving
Southampton on the 2nd proxo. I sincerely hope therefore
that you will be kind enough to mention the subject to
Col Moody who is now aware of my position.
I can render essential assistance with reference to
the disposal of the mining Population now in the Country,
towards productive operations, & prevent their withdrawal
from the Country.
Being familiar with the description of facilities required
for the relief of the immediate necessities of the Placer Miners
on Frazer River, Col. Moody will find me very useful at the
commencement of preliminary operations.
