Kingston, 6th June 1842. 

 My Dear Sir, — 



I have this moment received your favor of the 1st inst. and well 

 might you have said that you knew I would give you this information 

 with pleasure, which I now proceed to do, and deem it perhaps, more 

 satisfactory to you and the good old Colonel, to give you a copy of the 

 first entry made of it in the Eeceiver General's Office (by myself) under 

 Warrant No. 19 dated 20th October 1827—" To Cash paid the Honor- 

 able Thomas Talbot ; Being in Consideration of his services and expenses 

 in forming Settlement in this Province, from 1st January 1826, to 

 30th June 1827 inclusive, at the rate of L.400, Sterling per annum — 

 authorized by Lord Bathurst's Despatch of the 8th June 1826, — Pur- 

 suant to Lieut- Governor Sir Peregrine Maitland's Warrant of this 

 number and date L.600. 



We have no news here worth communicating to you ci her than the 

 report of Mr. Hinks, Editor of the Examiner, being appointed Inspecto; 

 General, which is generally believed to be true. 



Your Brother and family are in good health. We have had the 

 pleasure of their spending an evening with us last week, and he said he 

 had not heard from you lately, from whch he concluded you were all 

 well, otherwise that he would have hald a letter from you. 



When we arrive at the 1st July, please to send me Mitchell Certifi- 

 cate, so that I may be enabled to send him, through you, his Ten Pounds 

 Currency. — I remain with best wishes and sincere regards to your family 



Yours faithfully, 



G. Hamilton.

 Dear Sir 



The Eeceiver General has refused to pay the warrant for your 

 quarter's Pension to the 30. June 1842 because your certificate or declar- 

 ation was not drawn according to the prescribed form sent out by the 

 Treasury, I have therefore after some correspondance and a good deal 

 of delay obtained the form annexed hereto — which you will be pleased
