Being again on the point of leaving for
Victoria,
Vancouver Island,
I wish to refer to a letter from the Colonial Office dated the
22nd November 1865 and addressed to
Sir E.W. Head Bar
t etc. etc.
in regard to a certain claim of mine to a piece of land known as
Lot Z and lying in
Victoria V.I. and would feel obliged if you
could let me know, whether the
instructions given to
Governor
Kennedy of that Colony are such, as will give me possession of the
Land and not allow him to use his influence and re-open this
question which has given so much trouble and annoyance and caused
me so much loss. I ask this as a matter of importance to me, as I
was assured by some of the Officials at
Victoria, that they would
do every thing to keep me from ever getting possession of this
Land.
