| Transcript or Index | In consequence of the conversation which I mentioned with Captn. Franklin at York Factory last year, I walked from thence to Churchill (the most northern post the Hudson's Bay Copmany has at present on the Bay) last July to meet the Esquimaux Indians, and was much interested in meeting about 50 of them. |
