Pelly, Sir John Henry to Peel, Sir Frederick 24 February 1852, CO 305:3, no. 1727, 435.

Abstract
Public Offices document. Minutes (2).
Pelly acknowledges the receipt of Peel’s letter.
The minutes question whether Grey expected Pelly to supply a more detailed letter than a simple statement of receipt.
Hudsons Bay House
February 24th 1852
Sir,
I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 13th Instant.
I remain Sir

Mr Merivale
I understood Lord Grey's instructions on 1128 differently from yourself. I fancied he wished to have from Sir J. Pelly a statement of the extent &c of the land claimed by the Company, as well as a report from the Governor on the point, so that the two statements might be subjected to a certain degree of comparison. But I must have been mistaken in my impression for I perceive Lord Grey approved the draft with the addition you made to it, & of which addition Sir J. Pelly avails himself by returning a simple acknowledgment to our Letter.
ABd 28/2
Perhaps I misinterpreted Ld Grey: but at all events the Govr is the only party who could furnish this information, I imagine. Put by?
