Since I saw you on Saturday I have received a letter of which I
enclose you a copy for the information of Earl Grey respecting the
character of the Hudson's Bay Company on the N.W. Coast of America.

The writer was for many years in the service of the Company as the
Capt of one of their vessels, but having some independant property
now commands a barque of his own.
His statements fully bear out my own. No one who has taken the
trouble to enquire will give a different opinion.
