Montreal 7th May 1840
My Dear Sir,
I transmit to you the following sums [below], which I beg you to enter in the names of the respective parties.
This money is in the hands of the Treasurer of the Montreal Bible Society, who will transmit you a Bill for the entire amount. He confidently expects that the exchange will turn out considerably in our favour in a very short time. I therefore put this letter for you into his hands, as I leave Montreal this day. He will extend each item above in sterling, and send the Bill as the amount may be. Be so good however to enter and notice the items severally, stating the sources of the same.
You will please to observe, that of the first item, £13:18: 1 is paid for Books from the General Depot, and the rest is for Books received from Mr Smart. Of the third item £11:19:5 is to account with General Depot, and the rest to account with Mr Smart. The fifth item is entered in Mr Milne's account of the General Depot £13:13:0, he having deducted the exchange between Upper & Lower Canada, and postage.
I remain,
My Dear Sir,
Very Sincerely Yours,
James Thomson.
