Berens to Newcastle

I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of Mr
Under Secretary Fortescue's Letter of the 15th ulto.
with the accompanying Copy of a despatch from Governor Douglas
enclosing Copies of a Correspondence with Mr Dallas. From
a communication received by this Company from Mr Dallas
(who, I may observe in passing, is Son in law of His Excellency)
it appears that he sent a rejoinder to the Governor's letter of
which I have the honour to transmit a Copy herewith and from
which Your Grace will observe that there appears to exist a
serious misunderstanding between these Gentlemen as to
what has really occurred in reference to the claims of the
Hudson's Bay Company.
