to the Mayor and Corporations of Tor

-1a BuRILL HOTEL,
LONDON BRIDGE
Fryday Sept. 10 1868.
Mr.. MAYOR d. GENTLEMAN-I think it
but write to inferIn you that the petition
Intrusted to my care asking The prince of
wales to open our exhibition is now in the
hands of hir najestys government receiving
there most anxious consideration.
l apprehend that from the laitness of the
season it would be unreasonable 10 expect
any of the royal familey out to canada
this year-but if the exhibition could have
been postponed until next year 1t could
have been made one Of the grandest things
for canada that ever occurred.
Mr.. Mayor wish you to reeollect that
this is no idle poast, but reality & my
reasen for something to that conclusion is
the magnificent manner in which / have
been received BY all classes of Society,"
Lords-Merchant in fact all partys & the
only objection was pity 1t could not be
put off until next year and make a grand
national Exhibition of il / would Send
out most willingly case of goods for can
ada deserves it from us-well then there is
the press all honour. to them the thundre-
ing times Morning Post and all the govern
ment papers Including the small fry are
erowding with articles on canada and ad-
vocating the necessity of a visit from Majes-
ty itself. "a =
Mr.. Maor / have had Several Interview
with members of the government by all of
which | have been received most warmly
as to lord Carnarvin be should have been
canadian he as Dear fellow & / hopeto
be one of those who will give him a hearty
cheer when we accompany hir majesty next
year to canada of course l speak Of the
government in there private capacity. oi
l am to have an Interveau this Day with
one of the government but twould be late
for this post so can't tell you the result.
Mr.. Mayor In my opinion you have one
duty to perform and it is his no matter
how have worked you must consider /
cant accomplish this grand object without
some assistance from the citizens they shold
CALL meetings in all parts of canada and
above all things the papers on whom | de-
pend to, help me out, should rake the mat
ter up and send the resolutions pass by
those meetings to the press here-So as to
strengthen my position--perticulerly the
press which is Cover: ment paper and has
dun good service to Canada In fact all the
papers in London deserve well at your
hands, trust you will hand this note to
the press in Toronto whom am sure will
send forth the news thrueeout the proyi-
nee. = -.,so as ~.
Mr.. Mayor the moment I receive my an
swer will start for Canada but it shall be
but to return to london stronger than ever
in the cause. -.- 80
Having taken this matter in hand Mr..
Mayor rest assured l am not the man to
be prevented from accomplishing my pur-
pose by the coldness or apathy of some of
the almost unprecedented obstacles that
have stood in my way Since, l took it up
all of which have crumbled away.
P s beg to enclose specimen of my
success from the Literary Gazett paper
strictly aristoeratic-by grace-special those
slips have been sent down-to enclose to
you as the paper will not be printed until
tomorrow.
