My Lord: I have read with interest the communication, a copy of which you were so kind as to show me, from the British agent at Fort Garry to the governor general of Canada, relative to the supposed supply of arms to Sioux Indians by British authorities.

I have the honor to be, with high consideration, your lordship’s obedient
