Mr William Hitchin
Montreal 24th December 1840
My Dear Sir,
I write you a few lines, to advise Two Bills drawn on your house, the value of both to be placed to my Private Account.
First: For One Hundred Pounds, in favour of John Matheson Esq. at 60 days, dated the 23rd instant.
The Second: For Fifty Pounds, in favour of John Dougall Esq. at 60 days, dated the 24th instant.
I understand you have received for me Twenty Pounds from Mr Morrish of Bristol.
In my letter of the 14th of November, did I say, that the £100 Bill then advised was to be placed to my Travelling Account? If I did so, it was a mistake, which please to rectify if committed. I say this, because I find, to my surprise, the oversight in question in my copy of said letter.
I remain,
My dear Sir,
Truly Yours,
James Thomson.
