I have the honor to transmit to you a copy of a letter, with its
enclosure, from the War Office relative to the employment of
Corporal W.
Hale, now serving under
Colonel Moody, in completing the inscription on
the granite Obelisk which marks the western terminus
of the British
North American Boundary.
I have to request that you will take the necessary steps for giving
effect to the wishes of the Secretary of State for War on this subject.
