- Scope and Content (English)
- Anxiety began again today - Bruce gave his testimony - against Lepine - he did all he could to incriminate him - Bruce is a wicked man - the judge always appeared badly disposed - the affair is going to be drawn out for a long time - the government is expecting about 60 police these days - mounted - all seems calculated to create pressure - no news from Ottawa - we expect some this evening - the Metis with the resolutions ought to be back; perhaps we will have a telegram of the result the meeting has caused; they have uncovered this morning one of Clark's letters which reveals his plans - the letter is in good hands; it says - In a few weeks I will have nothing more to do in Manitoba - I realize my ( ); I will soon have on hand 7,000 piastres - I have sent you 6,000 - I am going to arrange a misunderstanding with Royal to concern the government then I will give my resignation - count on it my dear for the anniversaire of the 15th Dec. of the first night I slept with you in Winnipeg; we will glide along on happy days -; what do you think of that, this man of the gov`t of Manitoba ; tear this paper to pieces; remember the words only, there will be before long public infamy on Clarke.
- Le Metis this week is going to publish a long article on the question of jurisdiction; the Lepine affair will be long if some extraordinary event does not change the course of things; he expects they are going to take him to Fort de Pierre - lack of exercise impairs his health; Clarke is the greatest thief the earth has known; Gordon (ought to do well) on the propositions he has made to him; courage in spite of everything friends hope; however they ought not to sleep.
