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.
