DEAR SIR ADOLPHE

Jam very glad to learn from you that the citizens of Quebec have set on foot a sheme for erecting a monument to Cartier and the Fathers whose martyrdom is one ot the most striking episodes 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 these brave men, but also my good will towards your ancient city in which we have spent some of the pleasantest days of our time in Canada.

J'have put my name down in the Bulletin for $100.

Yours sincerely,

(Signed) LANSDOWNE Sir ADOLPHE P. CARON,

Minister of Militia, &e., &e., Ottawa.
