Major Urquhart has reached London with letters by which he is glad to learn that his friend is well and has received the supplies which were sent to Halifax. Hears that more supplies may be sent through Captain Wallis. Has no way of sending the shoes to him. Mrs. Wilkins cannot provide the means. It does not seem wise to plan on sending live stock nor money. In London the account of the defeat at Quebec is generally believed. Comments on the contest at the polls for Chamberlain (Wilkes and Hopkins). Has concluded that Mr. Borland can best take the shoes and other supplies which he hopes will be shared with Mrs. Bromfield.
