Pollock to Cardwell

My son Robert Pollock was one of the number who was Murdered at
Bute Inlet in British Columbia by the natives on the 30th of April
1864.

I received the inclosed judging from its contents and Postage
unpaid. I am not [sic] disap[p]ointed at receiving no farther word

from Mr Waddington. Please be so good as let me know if you could
effect a settlement of the same or advise me how to act.
