As it appears from a letter which I have recently received from
               
Mrs. Cox, the Wife of 
Mr. W.G. Cox, Stipendiary Magistrate in 
British
                  Columbia, that no arrangement has been made by him for her support, I
               have to request that you will report to me the steps

 you may have taken
               for effecting this object in pursuance of the instructions conveyed to
               you by my despatch No. 151 of the 
28th of November last.
