Trutch to [Carnarvon]

Above a month since I had the honor of an interview with your Lordship, & laid before you a Map of the Oregon and Washington Territories on the Pacific,
which Map included the greater portion of Vancouvers Island with the Archipelago of Islands opposite, & within the British boundary line.
I have by the last Mail, on Monday, received from my son, who created this Map, and who is now engaged surveying at Port Townsend, & Puget sound,
close upon the British Line, an account of communications made to him by the Indians of the Fraser River districts, with whom tribes my son is in continual 
intercourse; accounts, which I judge are important the Government should be made acquainted with; and for which purpose I called 
yesterday at the Colonial Office but was not fortunate enough to find any one at the office authorised to receive communications; I therefore presume to address 
your Lordship first calling to your mind my so previous interview, & to say I shall be real glad to communicate the information that has reached me.
The Map in question is now before Sir L. Bulwer, having been submitted to him by Mr. Roebuck who requested it of me for that purpose.
