'My Dear Johnston, — You have asked me to write what I think of you bs a member of our profession : and while I greatly regret the occasion which induces you to ask the expression of my ■ opinion, I am happy to testify to your merits. I have now knottii yon for many years, and have had various dealings with you in the purchase of, and loan upon the security of real property, and otherwise professionally. 1 have had more experience ttoan you, probahly as much as most persona of my .1 age; and I' can truly say that in my practice I have ' seldom met one so skilful and accurate in^ deducing j title and other branches of conveyancing — none more honourable or straightforward. -- - You have now acted for some years aa my agent over a property in this city, the nature of which has required accounts of considerable intricacy to be kept, and I have always found you most accurate ' and yojir accounts most'Ssifisf.ictory. Yon are now about to proceed to a new country.. and I have no .Hesitation in saying that t consider you perfectly competent to the.discharge of the duties of every branch of our profession, and uttrrly incapable of j anything dishonourable or unprofessional. I feel .you will be a loss to the profession here, and an ornament to it wherever you may decide upon practising. I would not write so strongly did I not happen to hav^ had extensive dealings with you respecting your family property, which gave me frequent and futl opportunities of forming a just opinion of your capabilities and character. "Wishing .you every success and happiness, - Believe me, very sincerely yours, Wm. MacDougall. To Wm. Johnston, Esq., Pembroke-street. . P.S. — Need I say that you were my agent over £700 per annum, without any security but what your'charactcr afforded. 1 . Wm. MacDougall. 1 TO LET, -"-IN-HIGH STREET, DTJNEDIN, From Ath March next, THE PREMISES presently occupied by r Mr. Wm.
