TO THE LIVERY OF LONDON.
Ozrry
to the have the honour to inform you that the election
vacant office to which I aspire will take place at the Guildhall
tO Fainsr next, the 24 of March, at Eleven o'clock; and I venture
7Prees the hope that I may be favoured with the presence of as
lo,s
cnY of those kind friends who, on public and personal grounds, re-
Sard MY claims to be worthy of their support, as can without much
'',,,Tvenience attend the nomination of candidates.
th4le sPentaneous renewal of the pledges which, on the occasion of
cord alt contest, secured for me 2,445 votes, and the additional
stro al promises with which I have been favoured in the present
h0...!g1e from many who were formerly among my active but
2.2.nurable opponents, convince me that nothing can peril the se-
4rty of
sop„,_, my election but that relaxation in the exertions of my
Baeznsers which might be the result of too great confidence in my
Whilefeel,, therefore, I should be doing great injustice to ray own
ngs did I not take this opportunity of expressing my very
Zrat
to Yul sense of the cordial and most effective zeal of the gentlemen
those strenuous assistance I am conscious I most be indebted for
th_ election, I take the liberty to solicit from their kindness the fur-
-4,7 great obligation of a vigilant continuance of their activity in my
behalf, Wall the fate of this contest shall have been finally decided.

I have the honour to remain, Gentlemen,
Your much obliged and faithful servant,
