Despatch from London.

Newcastle writes to Douglas to call to Douglas’s attention the regulations for Official Correspondence, found in the Book of Colonial Regulations, and points to specific rules that Douglas has, in previous despatches, apparently overlooked. Newcastle notes his inclusion of a copy of the Book of Colonial Regulations, which does not appear in the file.

In your recent Despatches I observe that some of the rules laid down in this Chapter have been overlooked. I refer more particularly to those numbered 4, 5 and 9.

I have the honor to be Sir, Your most obedient humble servant Newcastle Governor Douglas &c &c &c Vancouvers Island
