Lord Gough to Mr. Adee.

Sir: I have the honor to acknowledge receipt of your note, No. 157, of the 19th instant, requesting to be furnished with a list of the sealing vessels of the British Columbian sealing fleet to which were given special licenses during the years 1894 and 1895.

I am taking steps to procure the information you require at as early a date as possible.

I have, etc.,

Gough
.
