Hughes adds his comments on petition's intent: advises that the petitioners are requesting that the Governor General be made acquainted with the extensive tract they claim as their hunting grounds on the south side of the Ottawa River and that the Gov. Gen. may know that the government has assumed the greater and most valuable part of these lands without consultation or remuneration. Also informing him that the Mississaugas sold land that belongs to the Algonquin and Nipissings to the Government of Upper Canada and that these monies should be paid to the Algonquin and Nipissing Tribes.
