Hudson's Bay Company Hodgkin became involved in campaigning concerning the Boothia Peninsula and the Hudson's Bay Company around 1836–7, through his friend Richard King. King had been on the expedition of Captain George Back in the north of Canada of 1833–5, and had written an 1836 book, his Narrative, on it; he advocated a further expedition in the same area in 1836–7, a cause Hodgkin took up. Sensitive commercial interests were involved, as the Hudson's Bay Company's license was due for renewal in 1841. The Narrative contained a piece Hodgkin had written on the indifference of the Company to the indigenous peoples of western Canada.Kass & Kass, p. 259. Hodgkin then took up the behaviour of the Company with Benjamin Harrison, Treasurer of Guy's, disastrously mixing his professional life with his activism: Harrison was concerned in the management of the Company as Deputy Chairman, and was related by marriage to John Henry Pelly, the Chairman, who had crossed swords with King at parliamentary hearings.Kass & Kass, p. 277.
