TO THE PROPRIETORS OF EAST INDIA STOCK.
NLadies and Gentlemen,
OTWITHSTANDING the accession of
strength which I received ty the election of Mr. Dent to a
sett in the direction of your affairs, my position has been so far
erected by the withdrawal of Mr. Majoribanks in favour of Mr.
''tell as to make my success on the present vacancy very doubtful
:Under these circumstances I placed myself in the hands of
Lu.): friends, and they have decided that I should not oppose
Ze• Astell, on the vacancy occasioned by the lamented death of Mr.
Cljter. I have the more readily acceded to this recommendation,
..74uslemy position is such as to give me the most confident assurance
sUccess on the next vacancy, whenever it may occur. and I conse-
1411t1 feel •
disinclined to occasion unnecessary trouble to the Pro-
Met
-4,7 I have, therefore; the honour to announce, that it is not
kr: inte •
ntion to proceed to the ballot upon the present occasion; but
lii most certainly do so on the next vacancy. I beg to tender
ZY Most grateful thanks te my valued friends and supporters
;11 their unwearied exertions on my behalf, and earnestly
ZUciting the continuance of their support and that of those
4ro._ Prietors who have not yet favouredme with the promise of their
7Ses,

I have the honour to be,
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Your obedient humble Servant,
JOHN CARNAC MORRIS.
