No. 21

I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your Despatch No.
33 of the 19th of February forwarding a Petition from certain Indian
Chiefs in British Columbia.

It is gratifying to find that the Chiefs of so many Indian villages
have recourse in British Columbia to this temperate means of making
their wishes known to the Head of the Government. I have perused their
Address with satisfaction, and hope that the answer which you have
returned will tend to their contentment.
