Gibbons to Colonial Office
Sir,
Will you kindly give me some information with regard to British
Columbia? Is the Colony in a good state morally? Is the climate
healthy? Are governesses required? Would a lady 34 years of age,
long accustomed
to teaching find a situation in a family as
governess, and be likely to receive a good Salary? An early
reply would oblige.
