I have received your despatch No. 25 of the
15th of July last with
an enclosure from
Mr Pemberton reporting the proposed sale of certain
inferior land in the neighbourhood of
Victoria at a reduced price, and
thethe intention to keep open the
Cowitchin and
Nanaimo Valleys for
settlement.
I have to acquaint you that I see no reason to dissent from the
views you entertain on this subject.
