Dear Sir,—
Whilst making a trip last winter up the east coast of James’ Bay as far as Great Whale River on Hudson Bay, two of your goose-bands came into my possession, and I beg to return them herewith.
The band marked 17 was on a goose that was killed in October, 1918, about thirty miles north of Eastmain by Charles Shashawaskum, a Cree Indian.
The goose that was carrying the band marked 18 was killed last fall near Cape Jones by Richard Fleming, an Esquimaux.
One dollar has been forwarded to each of these men out of your fund, held by Mr. Nicolson of Rupert’s House.
Yours faithfully,
Wm. C. Rackham,
District Manager.
