meeting held in this Township it had
been my intention not to offer myself as a
candidate for the office of Reeve this year,
but owing to the warm pressured friends
from all parte of the township and a num-
erously signed requisition, I feel 11 my
duty again to place myeolf in the hands
of my friends. I now take this opportun-
ity of thanking you for your kindness to
me in the past and the manifoetation of
your confidence by returning me 80 often
as reeve of your township. Should there
be a oontest I therefore, trust that you
will use every honorable moonz to place
me at the head of the poll, as you have
done so many years previously.
I have the honor' to be your obedient
servant. Tnoatee S'rl:acuur.
