[COYNE] THE TALBOT PAPERS I7S 



self by your silence on that subject that they are well. The Avon party 

 ought to be back at Toronto by this, besides the weather is getting cool. 



It is very good of you to take so much trouble in my young friend 

 Macbeths money and I shall leave the arrangements of it to your better 

 judgment, he is an excellent youth and has been a most faithful ad- 

 herent to me since I took him under my care at the age of 13, 10 years 

 ago. Of course you will see by the papers that Lord Elgin has been 

 prowling thro the West, he was in London on Wednesday last, no great 

 demonstration in his favor, altho he was escorted from Oxford by 1500 

 Eadicals there were several triumphal arches erected for him in the 

 streets of London, but before his Lordship reached the Town they were 

 all cut down by the Tories and left on the ground for His Excellency 

 and his respectable phalanx to drive over, for myself I remained quiet 

 in my Den.
