Letter from Sir Stephen Evans

To: Captain Patrick Fyre

From: Sir Stephen Evans
Governor General of the Hudson Bay Company

The HMS Sandringham has surprised a French Privateer off the coast of Oregon. The captain, an English traitor named Lewis Grimstock, is now in custody in the stockade at Fort Vancouver. We are currently ascertaining the validity of his papers. Clearly he is a supporter of the King James and thus Louis of France.

However I am not inclinced to further an international incident. I am releasing him and his crew and vessel. With the condition that you, as a loyal subject of His majesty, secure his departure the the area.

Yours Sincerely,
Sir Stephen Evans
