 My dear Sir 



I had the pleasure to receive on the 25th inst. your letter of the 

 2nd inst. covering your Pension Certificates for the quarter ended 31st 

 December 1850, and have accordingly, as your attorney, discharged your 

 warrant for the amount due, say L.111-2-2. Cy. which sum I have placed 

 to the credit of your account. 



As requested I have now to enclose first of No. 967. Bank Draft 

 at 30 dys. on Messrs. Glyn & Co. for L.IOO. Stg. charging you for the 

 same 11%% pm. making L.123-17-9. Cy. 



Your friends here are happy to learn that your health continues to 

 improve and that you have been well enough to spend part of your time 

 in France. 



The Chief Justice and Family, and Mr. Allan are all well. Toronto 

 has been very gay this winter — ^ut we fear that the Government will 

 remove to Quebec in the course of the summer. 



The whole Province of Canada has not been so prosperous for 

 many years as it is at the present time — and promises fair to continue 

 ',-50. The western railroad ^ from Queenston to Hamilton and Windsor is 

 now commenced in earnest. 



Our Bank dividend for the last half year has been paid at three 

 per Ct. Avhich is an improvement on the July One. 



T remain 



Yours truly 

 Thos. G. Eidout 



Cashier.
