Border Police Station, Gipps Land
29th December 1846

Sir,
I have the honor to inform
you that I have given instructions
to Mr W. Dana of the Native Police
to desist from prosecuting his
search for the white woman said
to be with the Blacks of this
District, in consequence of a
collision having happened between
the Native Police and the Aborigines
of the Snowy River, in which I
am informed, several were shot
and others cruelly treated-

I am about to hold
an investigation into the matter
and shall communicate the
result to Your Honor on the
earliest opportunity
this

To
His Honor
The Superintendent

This collision is the more
to be regretted, since we had
succeeded in becoming on
friendly terms with the tribe -
several men of which were, at the
very time it happened, aiding
Mr De Villiers in his search
for the white woman -

I have the honor to be
Sir,
Your Honors’ most obedt Servt
