[COYNE] THE TALBOT PAPERS 107 



John Bostwick to Talbot. 

 Dear Sir, Port Stanley 2d. May 1829. 



■Agreeable to your request I give you a statement of the sales I have 

 made of Lots in this place. I have sold two lots bounding on the waters 

 of Kettle Creek at £20 & £25 — rear lots not touching the water contain- 

 ing not more than one fourth of an acre (some of them less) from £15 

 to £12. 10. The water lots above mentioned contain about the tenth 

 part of an acre each — I shall not however dispose of an}^ others at the 

 same rates'. I consider the remaining water lots to be worth £100 and 

 should with reluctance take a less sum for one of them. 



I am 



Dear Sir 



Yours truly 

 Colonel Mahlon Burwell. John Bostwick.
