Henson, James to Rogers, Frederic 12 July 1862, CO 60:14, no. 6890, 97, refers to letters from Dawson, who owned the North West Navigation & Company offering
to Amalgamate his Company with the British Columbia Overland Company. The Duke of Newcastle comments that Dawson's character by no means stands high in Canada and his statements are open to
suspicion.
