26 June 1869 To The Right Honourable The Secretary of State for the Colonies My Lord,

Having been informed that Mr Musgrave, Governor of Newfoundland, is a candidate for the Governorship of British Columbia, I respectfully beg leave to withdraw the application which I made for that office.

Mr Musgrave's appointment, if I may be permitted to say so, will give much satisfaction both in Canada and in British Columbia.

I have the honour to be, My Lord Your very obedient Servant Gilbert Malcolm Sproat
