With reference to your despatch No. 83 of the
8th of October
enclosing a letter from the President of the California State Telegraph
Company I have the honor to inform you that I have received a despatch
from the Governor of
British Columbia from which I am glad to learn that
Mr. Seymour anticipates no difficulty in adjusting matters
with the
Company. You will no doubt communicate with the Governor of
British
Columbia on any point in the case requiring your joint consideration and
action, and I have requested
Mr. Seymour to take a similar course.
