Scope & content
Letter: collection of fine from Golden Lake Indians will be left in abeyance. "In reference to the Golden Lake Indians I may say that they have been slaughtering deer for years, in season and out of season, and it must cease, as they have no right to go off the Reserve killing deer as they have been in the habit of doing." "Our overseer reports that the two Indians arrested must have killed ten deer, judging from the appearance of their camp, as well as many partridges." "I have no desire to prosecute any person, much less an Indian, preferring to see the laws obeyed voluntarily, but the law was put on the Statutes for the protection of our game and fish, and I am obliged to enforce it whenever or wherever the occasion arises."
