Sir,
I have laid before Lord Stanley your letters of the 19th
and 20th of November and of the 3rd Instant asking for His
Lordship's opinion as to the instructions that should be sent to
the Governor of Vancouver's Island on certain points connected with
the cession of Russian America to the United States, and I am
directed by His Lordship tostate
state to you in reply, for the information
of His Grace the Duke of Buckingham and Chandos, that he does not
see on what ground Great Britain could object to the establishment
of an American military post opposite Fort Simpson.

by The United States Officers, Lord Stanley considers that they

Lordship also thinks that
the Governor should give his advice, if asked for, to the American
Authorities respecting the control over the Indians, and that if
he could arrange the river limit it might be desirable to do so,
that is to say if the possession of one or more Rocky Islets is likely
to be of importance.
