E.M. Archiblad to William Leary
At the request of your Daughter in law Margret Annesborg
or Leary, I write to inform you that I have reason to believe
that Colonel Hawkins who had possession of your Son's money
of which he remitted one half to me for your son's widow, has
paid the other half into the Treasury of British Columbia, or
remitted to the Colonial Department Downing Street London.
Your better course is to apply to the Secretary of State
for the Colonial Department, the Duke of Newcastle, and you
will obtain all needful information.
To William Leary
