No. 29 4074, CO 60/43, p. 291; received 26 April 22nd March 1871 My Lord,

It may now be presumed that the formal declaration of the Union of British Columbia with Canada will not be deferred for many months. I do not wish to leave my Post while anything important remains to be done;but but as Your Lordship will observe from the measures of this Legislative Session when all are transmitted to you, I have been and am still endeavouring to prepare the way for the successful operation of the impending changes on the Confederation of this Colony with the other Provinces; and when that iscompleted completed I shall be glad to have Your Lordship's permission to relinquish the Government so soon as a Lieutenant Governor can be appointed from Canada to relieve me. I am most anxious to proceed to England to obtain the best surgical advice. I am still a sufferer from the effects of an unfortunate accident in November1869 1869 when I sustained a most serious compound fracture of the right leg. My lameness is yet very great and painful, arising from distortion of the foot and contraction of muscles and tendons, and I now have reason to fear it may become permanent unless I can soon obtain relief from Surgicaltreatment treatment and mechanical applicances which are not to be procured in a Colony.

2. I assume myself to be entitled to the usual travelling allowance on retiring from this Government, but I believe that Your Lordship's formal authority for it is necessary before drawing for the amount and with this I beg to befurnished furnished.

I have the honor to be, My Lord, Your most obedient Humble Servant A. Musgrave
Mr Herbert On loss of his GovtGovernment by abolition Mr Musgrave wdwould be entitled to his Passage Allowance of £600. [CC]
Mr Lewes If I am right will Ty sanction be necessary? CC
Mr Cox The terms of clause 138 do not seem to require any reference to the Treasury. In a previous case somewhat similar Sir R. Airey (papers annexed) was allowed return passage money from Gibraltar although he had not completed his full period of service and it was not then thought necessary to refer to the Treasury.

The allowance in Mr Musgraves case would be £800 as he would come under the old scale.

Mr Herbert Mr Musgrave may therefore be authorized to draw for the £800.

He asks for permission to come away as soon as a Lt GovrGovernor is appointed from Canada.

CC 28/4

Mr Cox Is this draft sufficiently explicit as to the date of Mr Musgrave's leaving. EB
He may be trusted not to come away before he can properly. CC
