To Alexander Oog, Esq., and others. Gentlemen — I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your Requisition signed by a majority of the Electors of Waimea East, inviting me to become a candidate for the representation of this District in our Provincial Council about to be assembled. There is but one reply to such an invitation— so numerously signed and so flatteringly conveyed — I shall be alike wanting in a sense of duty and of gratitude not to comply. I shall be prepared therefore in the event of my election — and indeed every motive will then compel me — to devote myself to the utmost to the service of a community whose kindness I have for more than eleven years experienced, and whose interests have so long been, and in all probability, throughout life will remain, identical ; with my own. I have the honor to be, Gentlemen, Your obedient servant. J. W. Baenicoat. Aihfield, Waimca East, /uly 6, 1853. __
