TO THE PROPRIETO;;S OF EAST INDIA STOCK.

LADIES ANT, GENTLEMEN',
WHEN I had the honour w address you in July,
1836, I declared to you my determination to proceed to
the _Ballot upon the first vacancy which might occur in the East
India Direction ; and however confident I may be in the propriety
of the step I am now about to take, I feel that some expl Illation is
due to you for the temporary abandonment of my former views and
intentions. I, therefore, frankly avow to you that, although my
supporters arc unusully numerous and powerful, yet I believe that
the result of a contest with Sir Henry Willoek would be doubtful,
and I, therefore, think that I shall best consult the wishet of the
Proprietors, as well as my own feeling of what is fair and handsome
to my opponent, who has so long solicited your suffrages, by giving
to him the precedence on this occasion.
I have the gratification of adding that I am sanctioned in the
course I now propose to pursue by the advice of many of my most
influential friends, and that the promises of increased support which
I have received justify me in entertaining the most confident ex-
pectation of a successful appeal to your kindness on the next vacancy
which may occur in the directieqt of your affairs.
I remain, Ladies and Gentlemen,
Your faithful and obedient servant,
MARTIN T. SMITH.
