No. 297. Mr. Frelinghuysen to Mr. West.

Department of State, Washington, June 16, 1883.

Sir: With reference to previous correspondence concerning the raids of Canadian Indians into the northwestern Territories of this country, I now have the honor to inclose herewith copies of correspondence in relation to the subject which I have received from my colleague, the Secretary of War.

I transmit these copies for your information, and as illustrating the good understanding prevailing between the American commanding officers on the frontier and the British commander at Fort Walsh, by which they are enabled to act in concert in repressing the marauding excursions of the Indians on either side of the line. This good understanding is the more gratifying and effective for the reason that the reference of these matters to Canada, by the way of Washington, might, by delay, defeat necessary action with due promptness.

I have, &c.,

FRED’K T. FRELINGHUYSEN.
