(Hony Niny) 17th July 1843.

I hope still that a sketch of the Survey of the Northern side of this Island will be ready to send to Your Lordship by Lieut. Col. Malcolmson, but as the period for that Officer's departure is rapidly approaching, I will no longer defer writing this Despatch, and should the sketch of the Survey reach me in time to accompany it, I will append any remarks I may have to offer on the sketch in the form of a Postscript.
