I have already selected my berth, and I have the liberty of reserving that a passage regarding at the contract rates may be granted for myself and my wife.
I also request that I may be appointed a member of the Legislative Council of the Colony before leaving this country, unless such an appointment is contrary to the Colonial Office Department.
I have the honor to be,
Your very obedient servant,
Henry Labouchere
