Honble E. Cardwell
Secretary of State for the Colonies
Sir
I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your
favor of the
16th Inst. and regret very much that you
cannot assent to making
Mr Waddington the grants of land
for which he has applied, but I trust you may be induced to
take a more favorable view regarding this question, on which
subject I hope to communicate further in the course of a few days.
