May it please your Grace,
The written extract from the "Weekly Chronicle", of
Victoria, Vancouver's Island, has been forwarded to me by
my nephew, Mr Chas W Allen, a British Subject, three
years resident at Victoria, with the request that I would
submit the conduct of Commander the Honble Horace D.
Lascelles of H.M.S. Forward, therein described, to the
consideration of Her Majesty's Government.
I purpose waiting on your Grace in reference to this
subject, on Tuesday next, the 21st Instant, unless I
receive in the meantime an intimation that it will not be
convenient to your Grace to receive me on that day.
His Grace The Duke of Newcastle
