London, December, 1880. 

 Dear Mr. Le Moyne, 



I write to tell you the news which I am sure will interest 

 you : the Queen has recognised my claim to the title of my 

 family. I enclose you a cutting from the Gazette, giving the 

 official recognition 



I need hardly say, that I feel very proud to have been the 

 means of rescuing an old and honored name in the history 

 of our country from oblivion and of showing the world, not 

 only that in clays gone-by Canada ga T 'e birth to men who left 

 their mark upon the times in which they lived, but also that 

 the Canada of to-day is not ashamed to honor their memory 

 in the person of their descendants. For this result I have 

 greatly to thank Sir John Macdonald and Lord Lome 



My thanks are also due to yourself for your kindness in 

 assisting me with regard to the history of my family, and I 

 hope next spring to have the pleasure of seeing you again 

 and conveying my thanks in person. 



With kind regards, believe me, 



Yours sincerely, 



Gr. DE LONGUEUIL. 



J. M. Le Moyne, Esq., 



Spencer Grange, Quebec.
