have another opportunity of expressing my obligations to 

 these gentlemen. 



I have also much pleasure in tendering my warmest 

 thanks to Sir George Simpson, not only for the letters of 

 introduction with which he favoured me to the officers of 

 the Hon. Hudson's Bay Company's service in Eupert's 

 Land, but also for his personal efforts when at Fort Garry, 

 to facilitate the progress of the expedition by every means 

 in his power. The assistance rendered by Sir George 

 Simpson was of the greatest use to me, and the courteous 

 manner in which it was granted increases my indebtedness 

 to him. 



From the officers of the Hon. Hudson's Bay Company's 

 service in charge of the different posts, I received without 

 any exception kind attention and valuable assistance ; in 

 the following pages many friendly actions are faithfully 

 recorded.
