Letter from Pocock to his mother dated 30 August 1886. Pocock details a conversation he had with Captain Perry, the leader of his troop. They had a discussion about Pocock's injury, where Pocock wanted to go to Regina to receive treatment but Perry warns against this because Pocock would miss the commission on all cases of injuries received during the Rebellion. Perry also informed him that through this commission Pocock is likely to receive a life-long pension. After this conversation, Pocock learns from others that the pension will likely be larger than Perry had said.
Pocock writes that the F Troop in Regina was inspected by John A. McDonald and thus received the nickname "Sir John's Pets." He also writes how many who were under fire during the rebellion were receiving medals and land grants, of which Pocock had received neither.

Letter from Pocock to his family. First part of letter may be missing as there is no greeting or date. Pocock writes about his gratitude for the criticisms of his essays and of a painting of a sunset he is to send along with the letter. It seems that one of his sisters had a celebration for either marriage of coming of age and Pocock laments having missed it. The last part is directly addressed to his father and Pocock expresses frustration at how the North West is portrayed so favourable by the press; he wants to write truthfully about it so that new settlers are not deceived upon arrival.
