HBCA, B.239/b/73, pp. 66-67.
From Mr Kennedy Master at C.H.
Cumberland House 12th July 1806
Sir
Mr Fidler arrived here the 10th Instant from the Northward which affords me an opportunity of sending the last of Cumberland House Spring packages with two made here since (the contents as per list inclosed [sic]) it may be added to this years account by cutting off two Gallon Spirits from the remains and adding to expenses if the accounts are not so far forward as prevents it otherwise it can come to next years account with what I may get between this & departure of the Fall Canoe.
Mr Bird informs me of 29 ? Beaver which he received from our Indians on his passage down this I hope will more than make up any defficiencys [sic] that may occur in C.H. bundles.
Having nothing new to communicate since my last I have only to add that I hope my Conduct and exertions for the Interest of my Employers will be found so as to justify my humble request this year to their Honors & that my endeavours hereafter will always be such as to merit the confidence of my Superiors.
I am
Sir
Your very & Most Obedient Servant
Alexander Kennedy
