1500. George Bingay to N. W. White, in receipt of letter relative to the South Shore Railway. He cannot report on the exact state of affairs because two of the officials have not returned from New York. "So far as the political situation is concerned, it looks as if the Conservative party in Yarmouth were so thoroughly committed to the Standard Gauge, that they must stand or fall by it. Sir Hibbert Tupper ought to be made to understand this, if he does not already; and also made to feel the absolute necessity of rendering every assistance in the same way that Fielding is doing in the case of the N.G.R'Y." [narrow gauge] Will report later. "In the meantime you might din the political aspect of the situation into his [Tupper's] ears, you can hardly put the matter to him too strongly. I think that accomplished liar, Wheaton, has the honour of being his cousin or something." Typescript,  Autographed.
