162 ROYAL SOCIETY OF CANADA 



forgot to enclose Col. Burwell's report of the mill site in London, which 

 I now send together with the plan. Burwell went to London to sell 

 the ground, as Mount was too unwell to attend, and Burwell reurned 

 yesterday having sold the Site, as described in liis report for L425 cur'y, 

 containing about fourteen acres, and he assures me that it contains all 

 that is necessary for the purpose. 



In the letter mentioned above, I took the liberty of making use 

 of you in a double capacity as Commissioner, having enclosed two pat- 

 terns of paper in order to secure more of the same sort, as Monjo sent 

 little more than half enough of each to complete my rooms. However, 

 with much ingenuity aided by good taste, I have continued to finish my 

 own Bedroom, which is the all-over pattern, therefore, I now only shall 

 require three sheets, or 33 yards, of the blue ground with the Sprig for 

 the other room, so pray tell Munro to keep it for me if he has any left. 

 I was much gratified with the receipt of a most satisfactory letter from 

 the Chief and you may be assured that I am delighted at your well- 

 doing. 



I am much surprised at not having received any letter from Ld. 

 Aylmer since he left me, as he promised faithfully to write from Sand- 

 wich and York, pray tell me what you have heard of his remarks of 

 the country. 'The day before yesterday I had a visit from Mr. Jones, 

 of Plymton, and found him a discontented Bore, and to-morrow I expect 

 a large party of Shore's to dinner. 



Is there any late accounts from Hagerman about the Clergy Re- 

 serves? I shall write to the Chief soon, so with my kindest regards to 

 all my friends, believe me. 



Very Truly yrs, 

 Thomas Talbot.

My Dear Commissr, — 



I got home safe on Thursday, and feel not a little comfortable 

 under the shelter of my own Castle this severe day. I found a letter
