On Ross' refusing the offer, chiefly on account of the education of his children, after a short pause, the Governor oh served, What can I do for you?' I answered, Your Excellency has always been a friend to me, and if you are still disposed to add another favour to those I have already received, grant me a spot of land in Red River that I can call my own, and I shall be very thankful.' 'your request shall be granted, ' said he, 'and the Company, in consideration of your exertions and success in the Snake country, are disposed to add something to it.' On this occasion I had every reason to be satisfied. He sent for the chief accountant, and ordered him to draw up a deed for a hundred acres of land, free of all expense, which he signed, handed to me, and we parted.
