Referring to my Despatch N
o 76 dated
15th September 1864
transmitting a statement of
Mr W. Moore the Captain of the steamer
"
Alexandra" trading from this Colony I have now the honor to forward
copies of letters from
Mr L.C. Gunn, the Collector of Customs at
Port Townsend together with a newspaper article which more fully
explains
the the circumstances of the case.
It is a matter very materially affecting the interests of this Colony
and as such I bring it under the notice of Her Majesty's Government.
