No. 67

With reference to the question of the Northwestern Boundary and
the possession of the Island of San Juan, I have the honor to
enclose for Your Lordship's information a
 tracing of a portion
of a Map published in 1848 under the authority of the Senate of
the United States, of which a copy has been found here in the
Lands & Works Office. I believe this to be the one referred to
by Captain Prevost in his correspondence with Mr Archibald
Campbell on the discussion of the
 question of Boundary in
November 1857. Probably Your Lordship's Department is already
furnished with this Map, but it may be useful to know where
another Copy can be found in case one should be wanted. It
certainly appears to afford evidence that at the date if its
compilation the group of Islands in the Gulf of
 Georgia was
regarded by the authorities of the United States as belonging to
Vancouver Island.
