P.O. Address
Dr Schultz
Senator from Manitoba

The Senate
Canada

Ottawa 22 April 1885

My dear Sir,

As Secretary to the Great Humane Society for the Protection of the Weak, I enclose herewith a debate which took place a few days ago in the senate of the dominion regarding the changing and changed condition which surround the Indians of our North West Territories. You will observe that reference is made in the motion upon which the debate occurred to your great society. The peaceful relations which have, to Canadian honor, been maintained, thus far, with the aborigines, has been recently very much strained by the extinction of the Buffalo, and the evil example of the French halfbreeds now in arms on the Saskatchewan River. So far the more independent bands have stood aloof and strenuous efforts are being made for the putting down of the Rebellion and the protection of the Indians. Trusting that the speech of the Hon Sir Alex Campbell leader of the senate and myself upon the subject may be of interest.

I am sir,
Yours very respectfully,
John Schultz

The secretary of the Aborigines Protection Society
London
