No. 11

I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your Despatch No.
147 of the 22nd November enclosing Copies of the Correspondence which
has passed between you, Colonel Scott and Major Hoyt of the American
Army on the subject of the management of the Indian Tribes in the
territory recently purchased by the United States Government and the
transit of Cattle through British Columbia for the use of the United
States Garrison in Alaska.

I have already made known to you the views of Her Majesty's
Government on both these points, by my despatch of the 28th December
No. 101, which you will find are in accordance with the course you
have yourself taken.
