Chamberlyne transmits a letter from Allman, requesting a grant of Land in Van Couver's Island for the purpose of becoming a settler on retirement from the Service and describes Allman’s experience and qualities. Cox’s minute recommends reading Ebden’s attached minute, and Rogers’s minute confirms that the despatch should be sent to L & E Comrs. L[ithographed] F[orm]. Ebden minutes the reason why the despatch was not forwarded earlier to the British Columbia section of the Colonial Office.

Lieut Allman has served 10 years in the Army and has forwarded his application for permission to sell his Commission to the Military Secretary, Horse Guards.

Lieut Allman is not leaving the Service for anything affecting his character as an officer or a gentleman.

I have the honor to be Sir Your most obedient humble Servant W.S. Chamberlyne Col Lt Col Comg 3 WIR The Right Honorable The Secretary of State for the Colonies &c &c &c Downing Street
Sir F. Rogers See Mr Ebden's minute attached.

To L & E Comrs. L[ithographed] F[orm].

At once. FR 8/1
The delay in bringing this letter forward has occurred thus.

It was received in the Jamaican tray with an imperfectly erased minute on it in the hand of the Colonial Secretary.

It was supposed that it had been sent under cover to the Governor according to regulation—that it had been accidentally forwarded without a covering despatch but that one wdwould follow.

It was accordingly kept till the expected despatch shdshould arrive but the circumstances were communicated to the Colonial Secy's office.

By the answer recdreceived from the Colonial Secretarys office by the last mail, it appears that Colonel C's letter was not originally sent through the Governor, that it had been opened in Jamaica inadvertently and afterwards sent on in the bag.

It is therefore now brought forward.

L.G. Allman to Captain Hewett, 3rd West India Regiment, 20 September 1867, asking that his application for a grant of land in Vancouver Island be forwarded to the secretary of state for the colonies.
