Sir
I have received a letter I presume through your Office from Victoria
(Vancouvers Island) Written to me by Wm A.G. Young Esq. Colonial
Secretary respecting my Son who is now lying Sick & disabled. I had
received intelligence of his misfortune and wrote him to know in what
way I could send him
such money to meet his expenses having made
enquiries both at Bristol and this place with the Banks & Post Office
but cannot discover any means of safe remittance.

be remitted to V.C.I. thro' the Bank of [blank] or the Bank of

own responsibility. Cut off microfilm].
