Christie, Alexander
Hudson's Bay Company
Correspondence from Andrew Wilson at "Split Lake" to Alexander Christie at York Factory.
Wilson confirms receipt of documents carried to him by Indigenous couriers, receipt of twine, the failure of the fishery, and distribution of goods to Indigenous people. The letter also describes the Indigenous people of the Split Lake region's suffering and starvation that came as a result of an animal shortage and instructions from the Hudson's Bay Company to not hunt beaver.
