19th July 1869 My Lord,

I take the liberty of sending the enclosed statement just received from my Son, Mr W.H. Fletcher, who is a settler at Bella Coola, British Columbia, which he wishes me to lay before your notice, & by a notice of the case to the new British Governour from you, it might be productive of great protection to the White Settlers in British Columbia.

Your Lordship may safely rely upon the truth of my Son's statement in every particular, and, apologising for thus troubling your Lordship,

I remain My Lord, Your Lordship's very Obednt Servant Henry Fletcher
Sir F. Rogers See Minute on Acting Governor's despatch 22/8154. CC 22/7
This is not at all a bad account of what has passed.

I would tell Mr Fletcher that Ld G. had perused his son's account of what has passed at Bella Coola. That his son is probably aware that if he wishes any statement of this kind to be made a ground of action on the part of the S. of State he must forward it thro' the GovrGovernor. That meantime Ld G. is glad to be able to inform Mr F. that what has passed has not been overlooked by the Local Authorities.

Monsell to Henry Fletcher, 4 August 1869, advising that the case had not been overlooked by the local authorities.
Sir F. Sandford
I have omitted that such a statement ought to have [been] forwarded thro' the GovrGovernor, as in the P.S. the son says he had done so. CC
