24th June 1865
Sir,
I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your Despatch No 5, 7th February 1865 calling for certain maps and plans of the country round Esquimalt Harbour, the most important sheets of which I now transmit.
They have been prepared withallManuscript image all the expedition possible with the limited means at my command and I can from personal examination vouch for their great accuracy.
It has been found necessary to have the land re-surveyed for the purpose of furnishing the information required as I do not believe there is an existing map of any part of the Island the accuracy of which can be relied upon.
I do not understand that any opinion is required of me on this subject, and I thinkColonelManuscript image Colonel Moody's local knowledge in connection with the maps now forwarded will supply all the information I could offer.
The remaining sheets completing the survey to Cadboro Bay (being the point of landing for the telegraph cable) will be finished and transmitted in about twelve days.
I have the honor to be,
Sir,
Your most obedient Servant
A.E. Kennedy
Governor
