Sir, Skitteewaabaa,t Upper Canada, May 16th, 1801. 
Although I am separated from England by some thousands of miles 
Your Royal Highness will find that I am not beyond reach of proving 
troublesome, to which intrusion I am led, by command of Your Royal 
Highness, when you condescended so far to interest yourself in my 
welfare, as to desire that in whatever manner I could find your influence 
necessary to solicit it. I am now to have the honour to acquaint Your 
Royal Highness of my safe arrival in my favourite Settlement after 
the most propitious passage and as I am persuaded that Your Royal 
Highness will be satisfied, I will add, I find my situation quite what 
I could have wished—but I have one request to make which, if Your 
Royal Highness will have the goodness to exert yourself in carrying 
into effect, will complete my happiness in this world. 
Owing to some neglect of General Simcoe’s, I find that the neces- 
sary Warrants for my lands, were not issued previous to his quitting 
the Government of this province, and since then there have been new 
regulations adopted which renders the possession of lands more expen- 
sive and difficult of obtaining than when I left the Province in 1794,? 
*Probably the mouth of Kettle Creek, where is now the Village of Port 
Stanley. 
?Talbot left Upper Canada about the 20th June, 1794, to join his regi- 
ment, the 85th, of which he was Major.
