Sir, I feel it a duty as well as a pleasure to tender you my sincere thanks, and the t&anks of this community for your exertions in behalf of tho widows and orphans that were left in the hands of the Cay use Indians. Their state was a deplorable one, subject to the caprice of savages, exposed to their in sults, compelled to labour forthenv and re mninint- constantly in droadi lest tiiev should aVe butchered as their husbands and fathers From this state I am fully satisfied we could sot relieve them, a small party ofAmericans would have heea looked upon by them with contempt, a large party would have been the signal for a general massaoroj " Tour immediate departure from Vancou veroa receipt of the iatelligeace from Waii. lata eoabline you to arrive at Walla Walla, .before the news of the American party hav ing started from this reached them, together with yourinfluenoe over the Indians arcom plished tfie desirable pbjcot of relieving the distressed. Your exertions in behalf of the prisoners will no doubt cause a feeling of pleasure to you through life, but this does act relieve them nor us from tha obligations we are un der to you. You have also laid the Ameri can Government under obligation Jo you, for their citizens were the subjects of the mas- Micre, and tholr widows and orphan are the reueveu ones. With a sincere prayor, that tho widows, God, and tbo Father of the fatherless may reward you for your kindness. I havo tha honor to remain sir, Your Obedient Servant GEORGE ABERNETHY.
