Dear Sir. -It has come to my knowledge, that some remarks which I
made, on my return home, after my recent visit to the Northwest Territories
hate been misconstrued by certain individuals, who, apparently front sinster
motives have reported, that I asserted that the land which you have sold in
and around Fxeter, for the Canada Pacific Railway Co. ie rough land, unsuit-
able for wheat raising. Now in justice to yourself and myself, I would like
to state that the only land I saw which you sold is a tract which you disposed
of to Dr.tHyndman of Exeter, and I may say that this is a very desirable
piece of property and splendidly adapted for wheat r:.iaing. As for any
other properties you may have sold, 1 had no knowledge of then when in
the west. But since I have returned home I have learned that I was not
within twenty-five guiles of any of theist, and therefore could not possibly
dive an opinion on them. Regretting very much that anything 1 may have
said has been used to your detriment and wishing you every snccess,
i remain, Sincerely your,,
