March 2d 1868 Sir,

I have the honor to enclose you a copy of a letter which I have brought with me from Mr Seymour, Governor of British Columbia; in answer to which I requested him, October 12th and before leaving, to forward you the necessary documents and particulars for your perusal.

Since then I have visited Canada and Ottawa, when I had the honor in December last to address the two Houses of Parliament on the Overland question, and confer with the Governor General and the Canadian Ministers on the subject. I have also visited the Board of Directors of the Hudson's Bay Company here in London at their request, and on Saturday I called on Mr Robinson, one of Your Heads of Department, with whom I had a long interview, and who advised me to communicate personally with Your Grace on a subject of such public importance, and also perhaps with the Commissioners on Emigration.

I beg therefore to request of Your Grace the favor of an audience, and as I am to read a paper at the Geographical Society on Monday 9th Inst where the subject will come more or less before the public, I take the liberty to mention the circumstance, incase case Your Grace should think it desirable to see me before then.

I have the honor to be Sir, Your Obedient, Humble Servant Alfred Waddington To the Right Honorable Her Majesty's Secretary of State for the Colonies
