I have the honor to transmit to you the enclosed copy of a proposal
from the Bishop of British Columbia for the division of the Diocese of
British Columbia into two, and the endowment of a new Bishoprick. I
have received this proposal from the Archbishop of Canterbury who has
intimated to me his approval of it.
I enclose a copy of the answer which I have returned to His Grace
and I have to request that you will take an early opportunity of
acquainting me with your views on the subject.
I have the honor to be
Sir
Your most obedient
humble servant Edward Cardwell
