I am, sir, your most obedient, humble servant,
GEO. FRED'K STREET,
_Solicitor-General of the Provinces_.
CONFLUENCE OF THE ST. CROIX, STREAM ARESTOOK RIVER,
_Township No. 10, State of Maine, February 19, 1839_.
GEO. FRED. STREET, Esq.,
_Solicitor-General of Province New Brunswick_.
SIR: Your communication of the 17th instant has been this moment
received. The solicitor-general of the Provinces must have been
misinformed as to the place where the force under my direction is now
located, or he would have been spared the impropriety of addressing such
a communication to me, a citizen of the State of Maine, one of the North
American Confederacy of United States.
It is also to be hoped, for the honor of the British Empire, that when
Major-General Sir John Harvey, lieutenant-governor and commander in
chief of the Province of New Brunswick, is made acquainted with the
place where the Hon. Rufus McIntire, land agent of the State of Maine,
and the two other gentlemen with him were forcibly arrested by a lawless
mob, that he will direct their immediate discharge and bring the
offenders to justice.
