My Lord,
The Indices to accompany the two accompanying series of Colonial Letters are actually drafted, but as there is not time to have them copied for transmission by this Mail, I therefore hope Your Lordship will approve of my sending the letters now, and the Indices will be transmitted by the next opportunity.

The Right Honorable Lord Stanley,
