Ottawa, January 16th 1887.

DeAR sir ADOLPHE,

I am very glad to learn from you that the citizens of Québec hâve set on foot a sheme for erecting a monument to Cartier and the Fathers whose martyrdom is one of the most striking épisodes in Canadian history. I shall be delighted to send a subscription to the fund and to shew thereby not only my respect for the memory of thèse brave men, but also my good w^ill towards your ancient city in which we hâve spent some of the pleasantest days of our time in Canada,

I hâve put my name down in the Bulletin for $100.

Yours sincerely,

(Signed) Lansdowne

Sir Adolphe P. Caron,
