APPENDIX TO COUNTER-CASE OF GREAT BRITAIN. 



will consequently be unable to pre- 

 pare the whole quantity of fur-seal 

 skins now required, I have to re- 

 quest that you will endeavour to 

 take and salt not less than 10,000 

 skins during the time occupied by 

 the trip of the vessel from St. Paul 

 to St. Michael's Eedoubt and back, 

 and to put them on board of the 

 vessel on her second visit to the 

 island. Last year you sent only 

 10,000 dried skins, while the order 

 was to send about 20,000. In fu- 

 ture you must endeavour to strictly 

 fill the orders. 



As to No. 34. You will make a 

 report to my successor as to the 

 rewards to deserving employes. 

 He will probably visit your island 

 in the course of this year. 



As to No. 36. I thank you for 

 your efiorts in regard to the vac- 

 cination of the inhabitants, and I 

 request that you will not neglect 

 the matter in future. 



In regard to your request for the 

 admission of your son to the Gen- 

 eral Colonial School of the Com- 

 pany at the Company's expense, I 

 have to inform you that this school 

 is not fully organized for the re- 

 ception of boarders, and I therefore 

 advise you to x)]ace your son as a 

 boarder with one of your sisters 

 here who receive pensions; your 

 son when residing at Sitka can 

 attend the school on the same 

 terms as the day pupils of the 

 Company. 



The brig <' Shelikof " will carry 

 to you a cargo of supplies which 

 you will discharge, sending 

 55 on the same vessel the accu- 

 mulated furs as well as your 

 Eeports. Besides this vessel you 

 will be visited by the steamer 

 "Koustautin" on her return trip 

 from Nushagak: this vessel will 

 bring you about 2,500 pounds of 

 salt, and probably some logs. 



I have ordered skipper Archi- 

 mandritof to proceed by this brig 

 for an iiis])ection of the island 

 under your care; you are therefore 

 directed to comply with all his 

 requests.

 skins during the time occupied by 

 the trip of the vessel from St. Paul

 admission of your son to the Colo- 

 nial Public School as a Company's 

 boarder, I have to inform you that 

 that school is not yet fully pre- 

 pared for the reception of board- 

 ers, and I therefore advise you to 

 place your son in the house of 

 any of your sisters who are now 

 receiving pensions : your son, while 

 living at Sitka, can attend the 

 school on the same terms as all the 

 new-comers who are not the Com- 

 pany's pupils. 



The annual supplies are sent

 per Archimandritofif to proceed by 

 this brig to inspect the island un- 

 der your charge ; you are therefore 

 directed to comply with aU his 

 requests.
