Bank of Upper Canada 

 Toronto 11th Nov. 1848. 

 My dear Sir 



I had the pleasure to receive on -^he 27 ulto. your letter of the 

 2nd October covering your Pension Certificate for the quarter ending 

 30. September last, which I have collected at Montreal, by cash L. 1-2-2. 

 and Gov. Debentures L.llO. the latter at 1% disc, producing L.108-18. 

 as will appear by the annexed statement of your account, which shews 

 a balance of L.511-7'-2. Cy. in your favor. 



Your friends here are happy to learn that your health continues 

 to be so good — and that you enjoy your trip — altho' we are not surprized 

 that you prefer your own quiet home Port Talbot, to the bustle of the 

 great world — and shall be glad to see you back again. 



The Government has been paying the last quarter of their dis- 

 bursements in L.5 debentures payable with 6^ interest in one year — 

 which accounts for the 1% discount in your last receipt — if they pay 

 the December quarter in the like manner. I intend to lodge them in 

 the Bank for your use at interest until I receive your orders to sell out 

 — as they certainly are a very good investment. 



In case youi should require money before you leave England, you 

 wiU of course either order this Bank to make you a remittance, or else 

 draw upon your account here through Messrs. Glyn & Co. 



I remain 



My dear Sir 



Yours truly 

 Thomas G. Eidout.

 My dear Allan: — 



I return you many thanks for your kind letter of the 3rd int. which 

 1 received yesterday, but am a good deal disappointed by your not men- 

 tioning the state of Mr. & Mrs. George Allan's health, and flatter my-
