Brown to Colonial Office

I am writing a little narrative of an Expedition which the
Government of British Columbia sent in 1864 into the NW district
of that Country in quest of Chilcoatin Indians who had
perpetrated murders of Colonists at Bute Inlet & Bella Coola.
It is a sort of Colonial & Missionary narrative. I was there at
the time as clergyman under the Bishop of Columbia & with the
sanction of the Governor, prepared the Indians, when caught &
convicted, for the last penalty of the law.

I much desire to know if there exists any Blue book relating to
the subject; or failing that, any Blue book on the Geography of
the North Western District of British Columbia, with maps—& I
should feel greatly obliged to you if you could tell me where I
could get it.

I may mention that I had the honour of writing a prize Essay on
British Columbia in 1862 which received the thanks of the
Government and 50£.
