[coYNEj THE TALBOT PAPERS 99 



Boss's account discharged by Grant & K. I called on the General last 

 week; gave your letter to Mr. Maitland, who introduced me. Sir. P. 

 very agreeable, asked me to wait dinner, which I declined, being on my 

 way to Niagara for home. He desired me to remember him kindly to 

 you. — The many things I had in the small waggon, together with the 

 misfortune of my servant (an Englishman, Sussex Co. whom I brot. 

 from N. York) having ,recd. a very bad kick from the horse in coming 

 down a hill in the G. Eiver swamp which will render him useless for 

 two or three weeks, prevented my calling at Major Sahnon's for your 

 saw. I came on by Kirkpatrick's & did not go nearer the Court, — Had I 

 been better fixed, I need not say that I would most cheerfully have done 

 the needful for you. Your letter for Mr. Stanley, I put into the Packet 

 bag with my own hands, and those for Phila I put into the Post Office 

 there, so that yr. postage is saved and I will have much pleasure in re- 

 turning you $2. of the money handed me by JefEery, when I get to Port 

 T. which I hope will be in a few days. 



Yours always 



A. Mackintosh. 



P.S. When I arrived last night I had just five min's talk with Mr. 

 Randal who has come forward for the Academy. I am now going to 

 call on him, and see how we can get him settled. Dr. S. sailed from 

 Quebec on the 19th ulto.
