TO THE PROPRIETORS OF EAST INDIA STOCK.
LADIES AND GENTLESIP:N,
THE result of vestertlay's Ballot, though it has failed to
place me immediately in the situation to which I aspire, is
nevertheless highly gratifying to my feelings, as marking the
strong support which I have had the honour to receive from so
large a proportion of your respectable body--a support almost un.
exampled in the history of a first appeal to your favour. 1 there-
fore embrace the earliest opportunity of expressing my sincere gra-
titude, anti acknowledging the sense which I entertain of the obli-
gation conferred on me by those valuable friends to whom 1 am
so deeply indebted ; and at the same time to announce my deter.
mination to proceed again to the Ballot on the first vacancy that
' may occur, in the confident-hope that the renewed anti continued
efforts of my zealous and powerful friends will then be crowned
with complete success.
I have the honour to be. very respectfully,
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Your most obliged and faithful humid. servant,
