| Transcript | 19 Esplanade Quebec 13 March 1858. Sir, By the last mail I had the honour to receive a letter from Mr.Smyly, who among other things says, "I have requested Mr.Alexander in whose honour you may have perfect confidence, to dispose of your application according to the justice of the case and he has kindly consented to do so." He likewise says that you W. J. Alexander Esq. [Esquire?] ) 22 St. James Place ) London ) had not long returned from abroad having come to attend at the Royal Wedding in your office of Attorney General to the Prince of Wales." It did not require his allusion to the high position referred to in the latter question upon which however allow one to congratulate you to convince me that I may have perfect confidence in your disposal of my application, because upon looking over your note to Lord Caledon, which I had the honour of enclosing to you among other letters, on the 29th January last, I remembered having heard his Lordship speak to me frequently in terms of affection for you. When Lord Caledon was in Canada a few hundred pounds were of very little [-------?] to me, and notwithstanding that he sometimes asked me what the amount he owes me, and he promised to send me over œ500. It is, I trust, superflous to say I never did [---?] one, nor the other. Should you kindly consent to pay me the amount, which I give you please deposit it in the hands of Mr.[---?] Glyn & Co. Bankers Lombard Street on my account. Should you require any other information of any identity then you can attain the same by applying to Messrs Bischoff, Coxe & Bompas, of 19 Coleman Street, City, to whom I had the honour of presenting a letter of Introduction from the Ex.Attorney General for Lower Canada, the Honourable Lewis J.Drummond, in August last. I remain, Sir Your very obedient James Moty. Paid W.J.Alexander Esq [Esquire?] 22 St.James Place London. England. |
