'Talbot to Hon. Peter Eobinson. 



Port Talbot, Oct. 10th, 1831. 

 My Dear Commissioner: 



I hope this may find you returned to York with health restored. I 

 felt not a little uneasy about you, until I saw Mr. Consul Buchanan, 

 who relieved me by telling me that your condition was much more 

 favorable than the chief's last letter stated it to be. I hope that you will 

 not confine yourself too much to your office, and take moderate exercise 

 daily. The weather for the last week has been most aggravating, nothing 

 but rain. I inclose jSTeville's receipts for his wages. When you write 

 pray inform me if Clergy Lot No. 9, on Edgeware Eoad, in Yarmouth, 

 is for sale, as there is an applicant for it. Every Vessel brings Lots of 

 Highland Scotch, many of whom possess the means of purchasing. I 

 sell the school land in Yarmouth for 12s 6d Cury the acre. I shall not 

 tire you, so with kindest remembrance to the Cliief & Mrs. Eobinson, 

 believe me very Sincerely Yrs 



Thomas Talbot. 



I forgot to trouble you with a commission. 



I wrote to Butcher Elliott two or three weeks ago to say that I had 

 a number of cattle that I wished to sell, and requesting him to let me 

 know if he wanted to purchase. Pray have a conversation with him 

 about them and tell me what he says, and if he will come to Port Talbot 

 to inspect my stock. My nephew, Capn. Airey, left me last Wednesday 

 after spending nearly a fortnight at Port Talbot.

Port Talbot, Dec. 4th, 1831. 

 Dear Commiss'r. 



I was much obliged and gratified by the receipt of your letter, giving 

 the fate of the Reform Bill, and sincerely trust that there may not take 

 place any violent agitation. Lord Wharncliffe, in his last letter, told 

 me that the middle class was not generally in favor of the measure. The
