Title
Ford's Displeasure at the Publication of Affairs Relative to the Treaty, Etc.
Description
Among other topics, Pickering discusses Capt. Ford's displeasure regarding the publication of information about the treaty which might cause him trouble when he returns to Canada. That situation was avoided, however, because Ford died when he choked on a piece of meat at dinner.
