8th Oct. 1863 Sir,

Having seen in the Newspaper some days since, that grants of Land in British Columbia were about to be given to officers of the Army according to their standing in the service, I should feel obliged by your letting me know the particulars.

I have the honor to be Sir Your obt huble Servant W. Henry Captain 1/17th Rgt. The Under Secretary of State Colonial Office London
Sir F. Rogers I do not think it will be sufficient to inform the Writer how much land is allowed to each rank of the Military Service. He naturally asks for particulars, & we ought to be able to supply them. WdWould it not be useful to have 100 copies of the last Ordinance 2 of /63 lithographed, & supply * any applicant with a copy, & also the Land Board & the Military Depts so that every facility may be accorded by GovtGovernment to Officers wishing to settle in B. Columbia. ABd 10/10
Mr Blackwdwould I think so, unless the Colonization Circular furnishes this infn—whwhich I imagine it ought to do.

I find that the Col. Circ. of 1863 has not, but that of 64 will have the infn.

I think a short note should be made of the material provisions of the Orde of whwhich copies (written) shdshould be given to applicants, till the Col. Circ. is available.

The main provisions for the present purpose are SS 3, 7, 8, 9, 11 and the last sentence of 16.

FR 12/10
Rogers to Henry, 17 October 1863, transmitting the information requested.
