with the observations you make on it at the time ; and you 
will on your return, make up, each of you, and deliver to me, 
a full and complete narrative, in writing, of all affairs that 
have come to your knowledge during your mission, which you 
may deem worthy of communication to her Majesty's Go- 
vernment, and which may not have been included in the 
general despatches, including also a Report on the details and 
result of your Commission, and accompanying that Report by a 
copy of your journals. 
48. You will be furnished, at the cost of her Majesty*s 
Government, with a set of such Books, Maps and Charts, 
and Instruments, as you conceive may be useful to you in 
your Commission ; and on your return, you will transmit 
the collection to this office, together with the originals of 
the official papers in your custody, 
49. When the most important points of your Commission 
are fulfilled, it may happen that a part may yet remain, 
which will not require the presence of all the Commissioners. 
In that case, such of you as may be safely spared, without 
detriment to the service, may return to England ; the rest 
will remain so long as you may deem it necessary, or as may 
be directed by orders from her Majesty's Government, With 
respect to the withdrawal of her Majesty's ships, the Com- 
mander of the Expedition will receive instructions from the 
Admiralty, 
60. You will receive from me, and conform to such further 
instructions and directions, as her Majesty's Government 
shall, from time to time, have to give you, for your guidance 
in the interests confided to your care. 
I have the honour to be. 
Gentlemen, 
Your obedient humble servant, 
J. Russell.
