Despatch from London.

Newcastle sends Douglas a letter introducing Dr. David Walker. The letter was intended to be delivered by Walker himself. For some reason, it does not appear in either RG7 G8C/3, the received originals for Vancouver Island, or RG7 G8C/10, the received originals for British Columbia.

This letter will be presented to you by Dr. David Walker who is proceeding to B. Columbia.

Dr. Walker, who has been recommended to me by Sir J. Emerson Tennent, was Surgeon and Naturalist on board the "Fox" during Sir E.

I do not doubt that you will be happy to afford him any attention or assistance in your power.

I have etc.
