Addington to Elliot (Assistant Under-Secretary)

I am directed by The Earl of Clarendon to acknowledge the receipt
of your letter of the 23d Instant, enclosing copies of a
correspondence received from the Lieut. Governor of Vancouver's Island
on the subject of the plunder and destruction of the American Vessel
"Susan Sturges" by a party of the Natives of Queen Charlotte's Island,
and I am to request that you will state to His Grace the Duke of Newcastle that Lord Clarendon entirely approves the measures taken by
the Lieut. Governor with reference to that affair.
