7 February 1859 Sir,

I have received your despatch of the 11th of December No. 49, reporting the appointment of certain public officers, therein named, to situations in Van-Couver's Island.

I have no objection to offer to these nominations, it being distinctly understood not only that the Salaries of the officers in question are defrayed from the resources of Van-Couver's Island, but that they in no degree interfere with the appointments I have found it necessary to make in British Columbia.

I have etc. E.B. Lytton
