To The Right Honourable Lord Stanley
Secretary of Foreign Affairs
Macclesfield
Right Honourable Sir,
I should esteem it favour by your informing me of the proper person
to apply to for information respecting a person who has died
recently at Victoria, Vancouver Island as I require to know if
possible the state of his affairs and the nature of the property he
has left behind (if any) and also if there is a British Consul
there and if so if he is the proper party to apply to for the
information I require.

Mr Fuller reports that Mr Cardwell's desph of the 11 Augt/65 No 38—or rather the 2d par: of it—has not been ansd. I think the Governor shd be reminded of the arrear; & under the circes of the negligence of the Colonial Authorities send the Governor a copy of this Letter requesting any information on the subject wh: can be procured.
