| Transcript | W. H. Male, B.A. Telephone ADelaide 1971 K. A. Christie, B.A. Cable Address: "Harmale, Toronto" MALE & CHRISTIE Barristers, Solicitors, Notaries Public 601 Federal Building, 85 Richmond St. West TORONTO 2, CANADA February 22nd, 1937. Messrs. Joshua E. Peel & Son, Solicitors, English Street, Armagh, N. IRELAND. Re: Mr. Joseph Steenson & 27 Gates Ave., Toronto. Dear Sirs: On December 28th, 1936, we received your letter of December 17th, 1936, in which you advised that Mr. and Mrs. Steenson had called at your office and signed papers. We gathered from your letter that you would proceed to Belfast or Newry to complete the document before a Notary Public. In your letter you stated you were extremely busy but we gathered you would be attending to the matter right after the first of January. As it is now near the end of February, we hope that you have completed the matter and are in a position to forward the documents. In our letter of January 6, 1937, we suggested that you send the papers to Mr. Steenson's friend - Mr. J. Thompson at The Ontario Hospital, 999 Queen St. West, Toronto, with instructions to him to hand over said papers on receiving from us the sum of $30.00. In your letter you mentioned the sum of $25.00 which, we believe, is the amount we offered in earlier letters to you and Mr. Steenson. In an effort however, to get the matter completed, we raised the offer to $30.00 in our dealings with Mr. Thompson and while the increased amount will have to come out of our own pockets, we feel that we should pay such amount. We urge you to please help us in this matter by doing as follows - 1. Send to us direct the Direction signed by Mr. Steenson to pay the settlement monies direct to you. We believe that such Direction mentions $25.00 but as indicated above, we will purchase a Draft payable to you for whatever amount we can secure on payment of $30.00 in our money. 2. That you send to Mr. Thompson the documents in question which will include the Assignment of Mortgage in duplicate and the original Mortgage and any other papers left with you by Mr. Steenson. If Mr. Steenson did not leave any other documents besides the Assignments, we will accept the Assignments alone, although we would very much like to have the duplicate Mortgage as then we will be saved the bother of having to instruct the Registrar here to prepare a Certified Copy. Upon receiving the above mentioned Direction from you, and learning that Mr. Thompson has the papers, we will call at his office and if the papers are completed so we can register them, we will then hand to him a stamped addressed envelope, properly addressed to you (unsealed) and will place inside it the above mentioned Draft payable to your order, after inspection by Mr. Thompson. We will leave the envelope and Draft with Mr. Thompson who we know will mail it to you immediately. Of course, if you are willing to do so, you could mail the documents direct to us and if we find them to be in shape so that they can be registered here, we personally undertake to purchase Draft and mail same to you by registered mail the same day that we receive the papers from you. Follow what ever plan you wish only please attend to the matter at once so that we can get it completed. We think you will appreciate our desire to examine the documents before actually paying out the above mentioned monies, $5.00 of which will be from our own funds. We have repeatedly received documents from England and in some instances, the Affidavits thereon have not been completed in a way that would enable us to register the papers in the Registry Office here and we have had to return the papers to be corrected. In all our experience in dealing with English and Irish Solicitors, we have never had such delay as in this matter but presume that the cause has been due to illness in your office or unwillingness to co-operate on the part of Mr. Steenson. We feel sure that you would not willingly put a brother Solicitor to the trouble and inconvenience that we have suffered through the many delays. We might add that upon receiving the papers from you, our work is by no means finished. We will have to deal with the original Mortgagor and his wife and it may be necessary for us to foreclose them. The original Mortgagor shoes horses at Race Tracks and he is only in Toronto during the Spring and Fall Racing Seasons. The balance of the time, he is travelling from track to track in the United States. He will shortly be returning to the Race Track near this city and we would like to be in a position to deal with him at that time. We therefore beg of you to give this matter your attention and to complete it in either one of the two ways mentioned above. We give you our promise that a Draft will be forwarded to you the same day as the documents are received here either by ourselves or by Mr. Thompson. Yours very truly, MALE & CHRISTIE W. H. Male W.
