My Dear Friend,
I send you the enclosed letters which I received yesterday from Canada. I am requested you will see to advocate the petition respecting the appropriation of the small sum due to the Society as the proceeds of sales, that the same it may be allowed to go towards the expenses of their Colporteur. I do advocate this, and with a good conscience and warmly, as I know well all the circumstances of the French Canadian Missionary Society. You may well consider that quarter as a part of France, and you would do well I think to show similar favour to it as to France. Lower Canada has besides an additional claim upon us as it is a part of our own country. I will not doubt of your liberality in this case as in others towards those Western British regions.
I hope you are getting well and comfortably through your arrangements for the annual meeting now so near.
I wish you every blessing.
Believe me,
Yours Very Truly,
James Thomson.
P.S. You can return my letter at your convenience.
