Frederick T. Frelinghuysen to Sackville West, June 15, 1882
No. 160. Mr. Frelinghuysen to Mr. West.
Department of State, Washington, June 15, 1882.
With reference to previous correspondence in relation to raids and thefts committed in Montana Territory by Canadian Indians and half-breeds, I have the honor to inform you that I have received through my colleague the Secretary of War the following extract from a report of the Lieutenant-General of the Army, dated the 16th ultimo, viz:
The Canadian Indians and half-breeds who have been for some time trespassing upon our territory have all been driven across the border. None remain on this side of the line.
Big Bear, a Cree chief who was for some time south of the Missouri, has also returned to British territory.
I have, &c.,
FRED’K T. FRELINGHUYSEN.
