TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SIR,—You will do me the justice of inserting the fol-
lowing paragraph into your valuable paper.
Your humble servant.
JOSEPH WOLFF.
TO THE RELATIONS OF CAPTAIN CONOLLY.
"Halifax, April 2, 1846.
"My dear Friends?-1 have been informed that some
of you have heard that I entertained doubts in my own
mind about the death of Colonel Stoddart, Captain
Conolly, and LieutenlntaWyburt. All I can say to this
report is that the death of those officers is not with me
a matter of opinion—but a matter of fact—l know that
those officers are dead, and those who try to throw any
doubt upon it, act, tho least to say, most injudiciously
and cruelly against the relations, and that I hope that no
body will give the least credit to the report that I had
the least doubt of their death! I have requested the
friend who arranges and edites the third edition of my
narrative, that he should not by any means add one
single word to the said narrative by which the fact of
the death of the officers may be doubted. I also declare
herewith, that I have not the least-right-to claim a pen-
sion from Government, or any other remuneration, and
I most sincerely hope that none of my friends will ever
petition to Parliament to obtain any remuneration for
me, for I have not deserved it, as I have not brought
back the prisoners. All I want from my friends is not
to mention the subject again either to the relations or to
me in a way injurious to Government!
