the protetations of friendship made them by the Commissioner on his visit here, looking upon the whole business as intended to throw dust in their eyes in respect of the real intentions of the Govt. That this feeling might be turned to account I make no doubt; and having once obtained a foothold it will be easier to convince the natives of our real Friendship. I will conclude by again pressing upon you the certain good that must result from your personally visiting the District - The natives are generally speaking expecting you but it would be well to give some two or three weeks notive otherwise many of the principal men may unintentionally be absent. I have the honor to remain, Dear Sir, Your most obedt. servt. Geo. B. Worgan Donald McLean Esqr.
