No. 2

I have to acknowledge the receipt of your despatch No. 35 of the
1st of June last respecting the proceedings of Captain Turnour of Her
Majesty's Ship "Clio" against Indians at Fort Rupert in December 1865.

With reference to the concluding paragraph of your despatch, I
would remark that I should cordially support you in any well considered
measure for preventing the sale of spirits to the Indians.
