- Scope and Content (English)
- Louis Riel, 'on the Missouri', to 'Editor', Helena Independant.
- Several of our big merchants have made their money trading unlawfully with the Indians; the poor citizen is bound to act that way; if anyone denounces another for illegal trade he becomes...; when the halfbreed is met by the trader with liquor he is thrown into demoralization; that is what several clerks at Wilder's Landing and at McGinnis' are doing; in the absence of Mr. Broadwater the stores are conducted in the most selfish manner; C.A. Broadwater & Co.'s influence was extensive and by its employees obnoxious; I told Broadwater a year ago I would fight the Company morally and warned Pepin; should you admit my letter to your columns I hope your readers will excuse my imperfect language; two years ago I declared my intention to become a citizen.
