Minutes by CO staff

Sir F. Rogers
Mr Seymour talked of an "insurrection" & did not mention Commr Porcher but I observe the Admirals letter is 1 day later than the Govrs despatch. Put by.

WR 20 Sept 67

I cannot help inferring from this & the "Canada News" herewith, that Gov Seymour has made rather too much of this affair.
