This letter needs to be transcribed. It mentions an upcoming vote on the Oregon Resolution. Per Wikipedia: With some minor modifications, which reserved the whole of Vancouver Island to Canada, Great Britain agreed to Polk’s suggestion. The Senate ratified the treaty by a vote of 41-14 on June 18, 1846. Therefore, the letter was written sometime shortly before 18 Jun 1846.
