Foreign Office

Sir,
I am directed by Lord Stanley, in compliance with an application from the Belgian Minister, to request that you will move the Duke of Buckingham and Chandos to cause inquiries to be instituted respecting the fate of a person named J.W. Cramer, or Kramer,whoManuscript image who, in 1862, was in the service of the Governor of Vancouver's Island.
A translation is herewith inclosed of a letter which was addressed by him in that year to his mother, a resident at Antwerp; since that date it appears that no intelligence has been received respecting him.
I am.
Sir,
Your most obedient
humble Servant
