My Lord Duke,
I regret to find that through an oversight in making up my Despatch No 77 of the 23rd Instant, the Enclosure forming the covering letter to the correspondence forwarded was omitted, I therefore hasten to enclose the Document in Manuscript image in question and beg that it may be placed with that Despatch.
I have etc.

This refers to Capn Gossett's [Gosset] application for the post of Colonial Secy of British Columbia. The papers on the subject are not at present with me.
