Letter of Charles B. Rouleauat Aylmer to C.A. Lesage in Ottawa in response to his request for information on events in the Northwest. The Justice from N .W.T . makes eight observations on the land title question, Métis probity, Government delays, the wood-cutting tax, and the number and composition of the rebels ("en un mot, c'était presque tous des anciens rebelles de la Rivière Rouge.") White involvement is discussed as is Riel's reputation and motives. Riel's plea of insanity is described as being false.
