connections here go in for C. Brown; so it may not be advisable to put him in possession of my private correspondence with you. What think you of Brown bespattering Colonel Wynyard with praise? They say it is to get the Military votes! What cause for congratulation for being out of debt, when we owe so much to the charity of the other Provinces, and beg so unblushingly for it. The "Eliza" is here; and takes, I believe, Turton and his family, much to our regret. In great haste, Yours sincerely (Signed) W. Halse. To:--- Donald McLean Esq.
