No. 75

I have to acknowledge the receipt of your despatch No. 102 of the
6th of December enclosing copies of a correspondence with Mr Dallas, the Hudson's Bay Company's Agent at Victoria, relative to the affairs and position of the Company in connection with the Colony of British Columbia.

The explanation contained in your letter to
Mr Dallas of the 5th
of December of the matters in dispute is satisfactory and his rejoinder (dated the 13th of December) of which a copy has been received from the Hudsons Bay Company does not appear to require any further notice from you.
