Hammond to Merivale (Permanent Under-Secretary)

I have laid before the Earl of Clarendon your Letter of the
30th Ultimo, inclosing Copies of a Correspondence between the
Governor of Vancouver's Island and the Governor of Washington
Territory on the subject of the outrages committed on the
citizens of the United States by the native Indian Tribes, and I
am directed by His Lordship to request that you will inform Mr
Secretary Labouchere that he concurs with him in considering
that the conduct of Governor Douglas on the occasion in question
should be approved.
