Maple Bank Esquimalt
Victoria British Columbia
29 Dec 1886

Dear Mr Chesson,

I have received both of your esteemed letters. The last dated 4th of this month enclosing copy of Report 10th Nov of the Privy Council Canada with covering letter 18th Nov from Mr J. McGee clerk to the Privy Council to Sir C. Tupper … relative to the Indian trouble in British Columbia and the question of land title. I will not write more as we are publishing a pamphlet setting forth the entire matter for the judgement of the public here and at home a number of copies of which we hope in due course to forward to you for the information of our Friends in England.

I am dear Mr Chesson
Yours very sincerely
Arthur … McCallum
