Sir,
In reply to your letter of the 31st of March I have to request that you will inform Mr Cardwell that the letter of which a copy is enclosed will be sent to the Company's Officers at Victoria by the next Mail.
In the meantime if there is any information on the subject in this Office which is desired the Governor andCommitteeManuscript image Committee will be quite ready to furnish it.
It is difficult to see what information is sought for which is not already accessible to the Government in the Public Registry of the Colony.
I have the honor to be,
Sir,
Your most obedient Servant
