TO TILE PROPRIETORS OF EAST INDIA STOCK.
LADIES AND OF.NT I.E MEN,
N consequence of the lamented Death of your late
I. highly respectable and esteemed Director, Sir Thomas Reid,
I beg leave again to introduce myself to your notice as a CAN-
DIDATE for supplying the Va:ancy occasioned by that regretted
event.

In my Circular of the I;th N0v.1823, I took the liberty of sub-
mitting to you the public grounds upon which my hopes of obtain-
ing your support and suffrages are founded • and I now beg to
renew the expression of my resolution to proceed to the ballot at
the ensuing Election.
As 1 understand that some doubts have been entertained respect-
ing my capability of being chosen a Director, and that an ob-
jection has hftn started to my being eiosen, founded on the sup-
position of my being a Pensioner of the Crown, I think it right to
declare that 1 am not a Pensioner of the Crown, and that 1 am in
possession of the opinion of the highest Law Authorities in this
country, that 1 ion not within the disqualifying clause of the 13th
Geo. 111. cap. 13, sec. 2.
Allow me to return my most sincere acknowledgments for the
kind reception I have already experienced from you, and to add
that I shall use ray best exertions to pay my respects to all the
Proprietors; should any omission take place, I trust you will have
the goodness to ascribe it to accident, and the shortness of the pe-
riod that may intervene before the Election.
I have the honour to be, with the greatest respect,
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Your most obedient humble Servant,
ROBERT T. FARQUHAR.
